The sun it is shining on a beautiful day <br />And the weather forecast has more of the same on the way <br />The magpies are singing on the sunlit trees <br />Their flute like notes carrying in the freshening breeze <br />The fruit trees cloaked in their pink blooms of the Spring <br />The wonders of Nature is an amazing thing <br />A poet of such beauty would feel inspired to write <br />A poem for others to read and recite <br />And the artist on canvas would feel inspired to draw <br />The beauty in Nature that he or she saw <br />The hen blackbird in bush sits in her hidden nest <br />Her green speckled eggs kept warm by the heat of her breast <br />Her partner on a tree sings to proclaim territory <br />On a beautiful day by the southern sea.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sun-it-is-shining-on-a-beautiful-day/
