A Haiku - Natural
Do we do some things naturally? All things?
Are births natural?
Some choose to have "a normal'.
All moms would hope so.
A "natural" swing?
Few batters have one of those.
It must be learned first.
Natural gardens?
Would be full of weeds quite soon.
"Hoe. Hoe. Hoe." No joke.
Natural marriage?
Show me one, if you see one.
Not on TV yet.
A natural peace?
It goes against man's nature.
Nature of the beast.
Natural water?
So, why have a "Best by: date"?
Life's not natural.
Choose one that's "normal"
Everyone knows some are:
Death and taxes are.
So what's natural?
Sunrise, sunset, special ones?
Natural beauty.
Children's laughter, too;
Tears of joy, tears of sadness,
Natural as rain.
Mothers' love, we wish;
A father's steady handshake,
Service to others?
Striving's a good goal.
But natural it is not.
Learning is, I think.
