I walk along a well-worn way
lost in the bloom of the matinée
the river runs just out of sight
with calming sounds that underwrite
the good that nature will portray
to seize all the senses, and dazzle the eye
for kids at heart who wander by
it was a warm and clear spring day
and this little bird had a lot to say
he's rearing back and singing loud
he may be small but surely proud
the morning shows a bright display
of yellows and greens under clear blue sky
where birds and spirits freely fly
