It's a beautiful sunny day today The gentle breeze is blowing I hear the sounds of life outside I hear my neighbor mowing I hear the basketball being thrown It makes a joyful thump As the kids get all excited They holler and they jump I hear the babies squealing Squealing with pleasure As they playfully slap the water In their pool...their treasure I hear the dogs barking Their tales wagging with glee As the babies wet their fur They want more...you see They love all the attention That's lovingly given to them They go back for more And add to the din I love the sounds of life I love to see them play I love the great outdoors Where everyone loves to stay I love the birds that flit on by The squirrels who sneak a peek The clouds that decorate our sky It's all been given to me God is good...His blessings many There's no other way to live Written by Mary Silva June, 2009 The gorgeous butterfly background was provided by Heartistic Expressions Home Guest Book
