The sun soon rises heralding the dawn,

A glimpse of a deer tending her fawn.

Rabbits are eating the morning grass,

Soon to take cover in their holes as we pass.

In the meadow we can sit at our ease,

As we bathe in the warm summer breeze.

Enjoying the flowers to relax if we dare,

Enjoying the sunshine without a care.

The cattle are grazing soon milk to give,

So little to do just their lives to live.

Birds soar high as we watch and wait,

Horse riders go past at a gentle gait.

Time to move on in this summer bliss,

To the lake where boats sail that way and this.

In the cool waters it’s time for a swim,

It is a good exercise to make us slim.

Refreshed and relaxed lets go for a walk,

Greeting passers by and pausing to talk.

The sun goes down over the mountains yonder.

The evening gives time the blessing to ponder.
