Ah! It’s A Beautiful Day!

I awoke this morning to the sound
Of the birds feeding their young;
The Robins, the Martins, others by the score,
Such a chatter of many.. such a beautiful song.

What a sound!

I looked at the world about me,
The Pine, the Maple, a sky of ocean blue;
Flowers now arrayed in all their glory,
What beauty that surrounds me..and for you , too!

What a sight!

For breakfast it was pancakes and syrup,
The taste still lingers on my tongue as I write;
The coffee, now that’s the finishing touch,
It all hit the spot, satisfaction...every bite.

What a taste!

Petting my poodles, bathing the cockatiel,
Noticing special things..how they’ve grown;
Touching the piano keys..playing my songs,
Lifting my spirits to realms unknown.

What a feeling!

How fortunate I am to have all these senses,
When, sadly, many out there have few..or none;
Some yearn for the chance to witness these things:
To hear a Robin, see a flower, see the ocean foam.

Sadly, their life is so different in so many ways,
Very seldom do you hear them begin to complain;
As we who are blessed with these privileges, 
Find fault in everything.. time and time again.

Ah! it’s a beautiful day!
