Blue Jays

I hear birds singing in the trees
On the radio I listen to my favorite  tunes
         A butterfly floats by on the summer breeze
Buzzing by shortly after is a bumble bee

         Blue skies as far as the eye can see
And blue jays flitting from tree to tree
        The beautiful flowers all in bloom
As I relax and enjoy  on a lazy June afternoon


         Hummingbird whizzing by so fast
I wish he'd hover ..for a while at least
         All these sights and sounds are a sensory feast
And when in the chill of a winter freeze
          I keep warm with the memories of butterflies
Floating on a summer breeze
