Birds Sing To Morning Sun Shining Today
Birds Sing To Morning Sun Shining Today
Listening to birds sing to the morn sun,
brightens my day in magnificent ways.
Spring and its fine songs can not be outdone,
I rush to meet it with no long delays.
In the distance, that great bright ball rises,
bringing in warm and early cheerful rays.
Each morn in turn presents new surprises,
with fish flopping in the deep wooded bays.
Views into Nature's beauty unsurpassed,
are as sweet as grapes growing on the vine.
Giving blessings for life often harassed,
one can see its origins are divine.
Birds sing to morning sun shining today,
entice this lad to race outside to play.

Note(old)- Today I skipped school, going fishing
after breakfast. Hope those babies are biting good,
cause this country boy is hungry.
New NOTE: Tis great to read this but my memory
loss does not allow me any memory of that day
or my ever writing this at age 16 years, one month
and six days..
