A beautiful day in Winter with warmth in the sunlight <br />And the clouds in the blue sky so woolly like and white <br />And the white backed magpie piping on high branch of tall pine tree <br />A great day for to be alive and life's okay with me. <br /> <br />Some birds already nesting it is that time of year <br />Their babes will be fully fledged before blossoms will appear <br />Upon the leafless fruit trees in their blooms of pink to gray <br />And Spring though seven weeks off draws nearer by the day. <br /> <br />A pleasant day in July without a trace of cold <br />And dandelions on the Nature strip bloom the colour of gold <br />And the pink flowers on the camellia tree so lovely to behold <br />They bloom in the depths of Winter by Spring they will be old. <br /> <br />A beautiful day in Winter without a chill in the breeze <br />And the house sparrows are chirping on the sunlit garden trees <br />It would take a grumpy person with this weather to complain <br />Though by the weather forecast tomorrow will bring rain.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-beautiful-day-in-winter/
