On Days Like Today

The parks and gardens look greener from recent Summer showers And the butterflies flit around the sunlit flowers And in the blue sky just a few patches of gray So good to be living on such a fine day. A mass of pink flowers the flowering gum tree wear At such a thing of beauty one can only stare And green Mother Nature has warmth in her smile 'Tis days like today that make living worth while. On days like today I feel how lucky am I? The best things in life we don't pay to enjoy So sunny and pleasant twenty four degrees And the warm southern wind shakes the leaves on the trees. On days like today old Mandy next door Is out on her backyard for three hour or more In the shade of the wattle she sits on her chair And hums an old tune and she seems free of care. In temperatures ideal not too warm or cool The children are laughing on their way home from school And Heaven from Earth is not that far away Or so it would seem on days like today.
