I walked into the park one day <br />To watch the children at their play, <br />I sat down on a bench to rest <br />Under a tree with a little nest. <br />The sight before me held my gaze, <br />For on the grass with funny ways, <br />Were little birds hopping about <br />And jumping in fear at every shout, <br />From children so happy in their play, <br />That they forgot what time of day. <br />Till Mums would come and take <br />Them around the park to look at the lake, <br />Where there were ducks and graceful swans <br />And children picnicking the lawns. <br />OH what a happy day I had, <br />Among the flowers I felt so glad <br />To be alive in the world to-day <br />And have the chance to feel this way.<br /><br />Kathleen M.
