The day was bright and sunny

The temperature was high

The birds were singing sweetly

Up in the clear blue sky

The babbling brook was babbling

To the sighing of the trees

The butterflies were coasting

Way up high upon the breeze

I gazed at all the wonders

Mother nature had in store

And I marvelled at her beauty

As I stood outside my door

That life affirming moment

Sent a shiver down my spine

So I went to watch the tele

With another glass of wine
