Nature's Symphony

The lilies don't beg for sunshine,The barley don't beg for dew,The stars don't beg for moonlight,The ocean doesn't beg for the tide.
The stream doesn't beg for a course,The desert doesn't beg for the sand,The trees don't beg for the rain,The glove doesn't beg for a hand.
The sun doesn't beg for the morning,The moon doesn't beg for the night,The earth doesn't beg for tilling,The redwood doesn't beg for her height.
The fish don't beg for the sea,The flowers don't beg for blooming,The bees don't beg for their honey,The butterfly doesn't beg for beauty.
The lion doesn't beg for its roar,The elephant doesn't beg for strength,The osprey doesn't beg to soar,The twins don't beg for a friend.
Nature doesn't beg for attention,It exists and thrives on its own,Yet here I am, seeking validation,You've left me lost and all alone.
