The Millionaire
By William G. Wood
Submitted by Jane Madison
While driving home from work one day
My total wealth I did survey
My mortgaged home and ancient car
A bank account not up to par
Furniture from which I fear
We may not get another year
The TV set with stamp-size screen
Carpets with that well-worn sheen
Two suits of clothes not quite threadbare
"All-purpose" shoes that need repair
Sadly then I saw my plight
After twenty years of toil and flight
My Treasure Chest was somewhat small
With house and car and clothes and all
On I drove trance-like I fear
When suddenly my house was near
"Your daddy's home!" I heard her cry
As nine pairs of feet went rushing by
And smothered in arms and curly hair
I knew that I was a millionaire!

Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion. -- Lorraine Anderson

Nature always tends to act in the simplest way. -- Bernoulli

Whenever man comes up with a better mousetrap, nature immediately comes up with a better mouse. -- James Carswell

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. -- George Washington Carver

Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of hidden stuff. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles. -- Anne Frank

Nature is a collective idea, and, though its essence exist in each individual of the species, can never in its perfection inhabit a single object. -- Henry Fuseli

Nature goes her own way and all that to us seems an exception is really according to order. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Nature uses as little as possible of anything. -- Johannes Kepler

The law of nature is the strictest expression of necessity. -- Molescholte

Man is a complex being; he makes the deserts bloom and lakes die. -- Gil Stern
