A Coastal Summer Morning

How graceful to watch in the calm Summer sky Above the white beach the silver gulls fly And in the warm morning air in the park by the sea The familiar voice of the dainty pee wee The flutes of the magpies so pleasant to hear The birds who do sing every day of the year In their breeding Season in late Winter to mid Spring they sing in the night A marvel of Nature a thing of delight People out walking their dogs in the early morning sun Whilst others for exercise along the beach run And small groups of walkers young women their hair blowing in the breeze Seem happy and carefree and with their life at ease And the young birds are chirping on the sunlit trees On a beautiful morning of around twenty degrees.
