Birthright Heritage

We who proudly belong among the countrysiders
Reckon to view in season every wonderful
Complexity of life.

Far from bright city lights, we witness each gleaming
Sunbeam strike newest growth of things
In earth and stream.

With scent of early dew we see springtime's rewarding
Sights as nature's prizes when buzzards wing
Free and skywards.

We witness small cygnets change brown into white
Calving, lambing and all barnyard noise
Highlights country life.

We want no changes, all rivers must reach the sea
From moorland heights, walking by birthright
Our heritage, freedom.

This magnificent poem gives the reader a sweeping, panoramic view of Mother Nature at her glorious best, and yes, I agree with the message of this poem - 'No changes!'. :)
