The sunset forming on the horizons on a hot summers night
The soft whisper of the wind as the fall rolls in 
The pure white hills of the winter after the first snow has fallen 
The exuberant   Colors of the valley at the brink of spring
These are the things that speak the loudest 
These are the things that stand out the most 

Our perception of these blessed and beautiful things 
Guide us to understanding 
Lead us to new heights 
And teach us about the greatest things in life

They teach us to envision our selves as we long to be
They teach us to sing louder than the wind
They teach us the beauty of purity
And they teach us to look past the hills  to find our strength
