From Dirt Rag August 1991.
Your trails were not meant just to hike
You can share them with my bike
for I enjoy nature too
and the climb to a mountain top to for a breath-taking view
and I hear the birds fuss at me
and I listen when they ask that I leave them be
and I thrill to see the baby bunny hop
across the trail and then suddenly stop
and sit up and look and sniff the air
then hop through the bushes to who knows where
and I watch amazed as a deer bounds by so strong and quick
more gifted than I
and I wonder if he gives a care
with what animals he must share
his trails and waters and woods so fair
