I sit in my yard with a cup of steamed coffee
and watch a mother bird feed her little baby
The fence does not impede my curious eye
nor the strapping beans that are taller then I
My dog is lazily wagging his tail to and fro
the sun is playing hide and seek with a go
Life is good in Postal County, all is just fine
and the sky is the color of white April wine
I sit in my lawn chair as I wander and stare
at the shape of the clouds so puffy and fair
If truth be told I wouldn't trade this time
for all the tea in China cuz , it's mine...
AMEN! HOW PRECIOUS ARE THOSE HOURS, MOMENTS...WHEN WE CAPTURE ALL THAT'S IN THEM AND MAKE THEM...'MINE'! ENJOYED, MUCH AND THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
What a relaxing moment you have there! I wish we could have these same moments in Canada. I envy you!
We are having a brutal heat wave here in Toronto, Canada. Today, with the humidity is up to over 40 degrees Celcius. Yesterday was 46 degrees Celcius, it's like 114 degrees in Fahrenheit! I'm staying in to keep myself cool.
What a lovely poem about a lovely, relaxed time in your yard where all the poetry in the world comes together for our delight. But you left me curious. Is "steamed coffee" something like "steamed broccoli?" Do you have an illegal coffee still in your home? ;-)
Timeless wisdom and advice on the art of living for today’s young and old: The art of thinking, the art of loving, the art of working, the art of leadership, the art of growing old.
