NATURE Poem: The Hills That Raised Me, by Lexie Vincenty

These deciduous paths
I have known for two decades
Keeps me grounded in the hills
Of ancient Appalachia
And I fear that if I venture
Farther away to new paths
And new lands
I won’t find my way back
I’ll be lost forever

To the hills, the trees, the forests, the people, the culture
That raised me, that taught me
To appreciate everything within my reach
Everything outside our windows
