The Jungle
by Donna R. (Cole) Carter, copyright 1979, all rights reserved.

Walking downriver with the water
rushing over my feet.

Laughing as the rain drips
in rivulets down my face.

Smiling while I look up into the
trees and bushes clinging to
the sides of the mountains.

Thankful for the privilege of being here.

Crying because the beauty
of it all is just too much
to believe.
