A LOVELY DAY The sun is shining bright today I must get up, be on my way There are so many things to do adventures still to be enjoyed Before ths gorgeous day is through my spirits really are quite buoyed The world is truly full of treasures none of its beauty is denied where to go or what I should do is simply for me to decide I step outside to hear the chorus of the busy happy birds Chirping, singing voices bringing messages more sweet than words I notice then the gentle breezes blowing cool around my face I marvel at how nature pleases so wonderful this precious place I feel so blessed so young and free these joys bring happiness to me As I progress along my way so many wonders there to see I get such a pleasant feeling Almost breaking into song Much of nature now revealing as I slowly trail along Feeling only sweet contentment while proceeding on my way Never knowing such fulfillment such a pleasant soulful day
