Such A Joy To Be Living

Such a joy to be living on this nice sunny Spring day A freshening breeze blowing up through Illowa from the sea at Gorman's Bay The coastal countryside looking green and healthy after the recent Spring showers And the paddocks look resplendent cloaked in yellow cape flowers It does highlight Nature's beauty Spring sunshine after recent rain The farmers are feeling happy without reason to complain Cattle chewing their cuds are resting in the cool shade of the trees On a nice day in October Of a weather high of twenty degrees The warbling of the white backed magpie who sings every day of the year And the familiar song of the gold billed blackbird always a joy for to hear Beauty it is all around me on this nice day in the Spring Grass lush and green and wildflowers blooming Nature is an amazing thing Illowa is at her finest so much natural beauty to be seen The gift of rain is more than welcome it has left the country looking green.
