Does

Does the rain ever get tired of crying? Does the wind ever run out of breath? Do the twigs ever get hurt from their constant snapping? Do the rocks ever think how boring it is to sit all day? Does the river ever get worn out from pounding? Do the trees ever get hard and rough from their years of holding the world on their shoulders? Do the clouds ever wonder why they drift aimlessly around? Do the worn paths ever get lonely for what they were before the thunder of many feet? Does the grass ever get tired of constantly swaying and dancing? Do the leaves ever get nervous from all their fluttering? Do the stars ever feel their constant twinkling is false? Does the sky ever get too big too expanded? I wonder, does Mother Nature ever long for a friend, a duplicate to befriend in this vast universe?
