How Great To Be Living

The sun may not be shining hidden behind clouds of gray But so great to be living on this cool and dry Winter's day A magpie is warbling on a black wattle tree And how pleasant to hear the song of the pee wee In the weather forecast for tomorrow some rain But with the countryside looking so beautiful and green one ought not to complain Though the weather is not always sunny and clear In Nature there is beauty at all times of year The wattles looking resplendent in their yellow flowers They come into bloom in the Winter showers Nature's beauty is all around me to be seen The recent life giving rain has left the paddocks looking lush and green The contented cattle chewing their cuds do lay How great to be living on such a nice Winter's day.
