A Lazy Afternoon
I sit on my deck on this lazy afternoon
watching the sun move slowly to the west
The leaves are dancing on the oak tree out back
from a breeze gently blowing from the south
A sparrow is hopping from post to post
on the old fence down by the road
A little squirrel playing and running around
to the top of the tree and down to the ground
then I hear a whistle from a distant train
And the rhythm is like music to my ears
I think to myself what wonderful way
to spend a beautiful lazy afternoon
