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

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

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
