Beal, Merrill D.

Yellowstone National Park

And I’ll watch on yonder mountain
    The colors change with the day,
  And I’ll follow each shadow creeping
    So silently on its way.

  And then I’ll give thanks to God above
    And in gratitude I’ll pause,
  And I’ll love, not hate, each care that comes
    In that great big home—Outdoors.

                                                       —FRANK L. OASTLER
