I Have Been

I have been lucky in life of this i can say In the beauty around me i see every day The great beauty in Nature one does not pay to see It is all around you and it is all around me This a pleasant enough day of around eighteen degrees Of intermittent sunshine with a gentle Spring breeze Blowing across the paddocks from the saltwater bay No reason to complain on a day like today The song of the blackbird a voice of the Spring To listen to is such a beautiful thing And the warbling of the magpies a joy for to hear The birds who do sing every day of the year And the lush and green paddocks after recent showers Are looking resplendent in their Nature's flowers.
