The Choir From Above

All that music in the morning It is such a joy to hear As the rooster makes his early call And the birdsong is so clear How I love to hear the dawn chorus It's a choir from up above Nature fills the air with song And my heart's filled with love No matter what the weather Be it rain or be it shine Birds seem to sing forever And the morning feels so fine As I sit here in my chair And I listen to these birds From parrots to those cooing doves My heart it gets so stirred

Very nice Vera - so nice to be back on track away from the virus. you wonder what the next nonsense will be to be documented by uninnovated so-called poets.

I love the inviting serene feel of this poem. I've admired your photos you and Peter have posted. Are the bird a pet or they wild. I just love them. Hugs my dear friend

I want to hear song birds singing in the mornings my friend but rarely ever do they visit around here. I have to go 9 miles away to the wildlife refuge for that. Fine poem, pleasure to read. A7

So sad you don't hear the fine songs of birds Robert, how awful not to be able to hear them, we sit outside in the morning near the fish pond and bird feeders and that is all we hear songs of all types of birds it's lovely, every morning is a routine with us tea in the garden, take care my friend...................Vera

Dear Vera At least you have birds to listen to, I've got a howler monkey, a beagle who never wants to stop making noise, lol if a leaf falls outside Suey Q, barks like it is a burglar and starts to bark woof, bark woofing it, lol love your poem my dearest sister from far and away, it's very lovely and has a flare of the inspirational to it that can't be beat, cheri

Cheryl my dear thank you for the lovely visit, yes it is lovely sitting outside sipping a cup of tea and listening to the birds and watching the fish mating, we are having such lovely weather at the moment and Bear the dog is just finishing his biscuit, we give him 4 every morning, he is spoilt rotten. Take care my dear...........Vera

Hello Vera, My wife Ingrid and I have now been married nearly 25 years. You and Peter are our role models for the 50 year mark!! I do fully understand what you mean. It's really amazing how two people can continue to grow and progress together through life. Same for us too about Nature. We both love it immensely. Cheers and Best Wishes from Ingrid and me!! Gary

Hi ,Gary and thank you so much for that lovely comment, yes I suppose if you live with one person for 50 years he does wear off on one, but we are so lucky as we both really enjoy nature, any opportunity we get we go out for a drive and take so many photos we just love it, besides what else do we do at our age, take care.......Vera.

Hi Paul, yes like Peter I am a lover of nature, I think he has rubbed off on to me after 50 years, but I was raised in the nature of this country before I even went to UK to meet him so I am or was a nature baby and yes it does fill my heart and life with joy and peace, take care my friend...........Vera
