words echo art
Today- I watched a bee
as it circled ’bout a rose
examining too close
I inhaled with my nose
Today- I watched a deer
she hid amongst the trees
clever nature seems
camera only caught the leaves
Today- I heard a child
questioning things that flew
inspired eyes so blue
I grasp knowledge anew
(and upside down at times)
Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
