Seagulls and blackbirds hover the sky Bright coloured flowers they multiply The city such a depressing sight With factories cars and traffic lights.
People are working to earn their pay They save for a break a nice holiday Maybe a cruise to a tropical land Or just to the beach with sea and sand.
We are not made to take in the fumes From moterways were the traffic looms We belong with nature and fields of green With fountains trickling from mountain streams.
We look out at our garden what do we see Bright cherry blossom and sweet honeybees All these things bring a smile on one's face Away from running in this busy rat race.
Time it has come to take one's ease Breath in the air and feel the breeze No need to rush there's no were to go Just look at the colours inside your rainbow.
Living life in the slow lane these days. I would recommend it After fifty years in the building trade now enjoying retirement.
