A Country Walk

A babbling stream, a peaceful lane These are the things that I enjoy As I walk on a summers day With a warm gentle breeze upon my face A cottage in a field, with swirling smoke A family sitting round ready to eat Rich chicken soup and freshly baked bread Then five little children all snug in their bed A flitting bird upon the nest Protecting her brood from unknown harm A cow chewing cud all gentle and calm Then sheep and one dog in one accord Oh what a beautiful land we have If we would take the time to see Instead of rushing through the day Let’s sit for a while and take it all in
