Face forward into a windy day and listen,
Feel the sun upon your face and dream,
Watch the clouds and learn to change,
Look to a starry night and know light even in darkness,
Gaze upon fields of wheat and see the gold,
Go barefoot on a stony path and dance,
Watch the trees in the forest and learn to see,
Look upon mountains high and know the nobility in a blade of grass,
Hear thunder on a stormy day and feel the power,
Feel rain drops fall upon your face and drink,
Watch lightening cross the sky and learn to strive,
Look onto the heavens and know the magnificence of you,
Feel the sand beneath your feet and run,
Watch seabirds fly and learn to soar,
Listen to the ocean and hear the siren’s song,
Look to the endless blue horizon and know infinity,
See life as one brand new so that you will remember,
That you have come and gone before,
And delight in all you see that you may learn,
To look beyond tomorrow that you may know forever,
