Follow The Borough Through The Wood To Clearing Deep Within. There You'll Find A Surprise; Which Few Would Know To Exist. A Supple Gentle Meadow Where Filtered Light Descends. Where Numerous Kinds Of Flora Grow; To Cover The Heart Of The Wood. Blue Bells Form Its Edge; Then Foxglove Echoes Thin. Beautiful Rhododendrons Crown; While Wild Roses Win. The Oregon Grape Grows Thick, With Berries Ever Blue. Then Exactly In The Center, Void; With But A Buttercup, Or Fern. This Then Be The Heart Of The Forest; So Secretly Endowed. All Of Nature Surrounding It Will Guard Its Beauty Proud. Look Placidly Upon It, But Please Do Not Disturb. This Sacred Place Of Forest; Where Its Life Was Sweetly Formed. Remember My Friend; We All Do Have A Heart. Would You Want Someone To Fool With Yours?
