On this beautiful summer morning br skies are a delicate blue and br lime green shrubs lend a backcloth br for the roses' deep crimson hue. br br Floral colours blend together br shining in the sunlight glow br Oh this is the morning of mornings br I recall from 'the long ago'. br br A poetic moment comes o'er me br as songbirds greet a new day. br I write my verse on 'Birds of the Air' br before they flutter away. br br Then I gaze at the picture before me br and looking toward heaven, I pray br whispering words of thankfulness br for the glory of Nature's way.
