I wrote this on holiday in America and as it turned out, three days before I was hospitalised in West Virginia with a heart 'event'. I still feel blessed when I look at the photos that I took on that day.
What a beautiful day is today,
Sun and mist have both had their way.
Deer darting through the trees,
Warmed by a summer breeze,
What a beautiful day is today.
I’ve seen the mountains in a misty blue haze,
A natural bridge, a seventh wonder did amaze,
Spoke with Monacan Indians who welcomed me
And the waters of the rivers, rippled, running free.
What a beautiful day is today,
Every now and then a golden ray
Lit up the smile upon your face
In this fabulous place,
What a beautiful day is today.
I’ve seen the wheel turning at Mobry Mill,
I’ve seen the nearby pond reflecting, still;
The Indian colours, I’ve come to know
Cochineals from beetles and Lindo Mose’s indigo.
What a beautiful day is today,
I’ll remember this forever and say,
‘The beauty and you my dearest love,
And give thanks to the Lord above.
What a beautiful day is today.
