The golden sun at dawn's first light, awakens hills in hues so bright.
A river sings, a gentle tune, beneath the watchful, silver moon.

The trees, like guardians, stand so tall, their rustling leaves, a whispered call.
The flowers bloom in colors deep, a painted dream the earth does keep. the ocean waves embrace the shore, a timeless dance forevermore.
The mountains rise with silent grace, a crown of clouds their soft embrace. The breeze that stirs the emerald sea,
the birds that soar so wild and free, each whisper tells, in nature’s voice.
A song of peace, a call to rejoice.

-Juan Cañón
