Nature is so wonderful
It gives without an ask
The beauty of the blue sky’s stretching out above
The flowers are a wonder of colour shape and size
But all of which are fascinating to look at with our eyes

The smell of flowers and trees take me back when beautiful sunny days
that seemed to last
With ease and calmness we so long to have

But take one moment and open your eyes
And you will have what nature gives without lies

The Tree in my Garden
Swings and sways
When wind is ablaze
Branches holding on
Waiting for calm
To come

The tree in the garden
Bathing in the sun
Accommodating lots of birds
And bees
Harmonising
As the day has began
And gentle touch of green leaves
Now calm
And seen

How lucky we can see
our  tree

Time to sit and listen
Allowing a moment of peace
And quite

Time to sit and listen
What can you hear
A bird
The wind
Or a quite stillness
That might feel strange

Time to sit and listen
And stop the day
To dream of a place that’s tranquil
Not to far away

Time to waste
Time to eat
Whatever time might
Make you think

Spring is here
The amazing life of flowers that  breath
Birds are singing in the trees
The Bees are buzzing in Harmony
A gentle breeze
And swaying trees
Oh how lucky we are

So sit and listen
Just sit and listen

The music plays
As I sway
Taking me down
Memory lane

The music plays
And time delays
As I recall a day of long since past
The tune I remember

A memory
It always lasts
Of sweet summer days
When life seemed
So much at ease

I sway to the music
Of what’s my past
