Blessed Holidays
I feel like dancing in the sun
among the butterflies and the bees that hum
They’re pollinating from flower to flower
I’m truly blessed in these early hours
of seven and eight
when I walk through the gate
of white picket pales
My heart could sail.
And on the veranda waiting for me
flowers in baskets I could see.
Then my breakfast was resting there
nice fresh fruit beyond compare
it looks delicious
and very nutritious
I’m sure to come again.

Cottage Entrance
My entrance is paved with beautiful pebbles
and wonderful flowers in bloom
Birds are singing a bright new tune
where the paths are pleasantly strewn
with pebbles of all different colors
in the soft gentle breeze.

Day off in my Canoe
Wading down the river in my canoe
is all I want to do
I place it upon the waters edge
and my heart does pledge__
I'm off for today
without need for pay
I'm going between those cliffs.
So I'm taking off on the water adrift__
I'm on my way today.
Then over the rocks and waterfall
surely I would go__
determination, it takes all__
then I land on the waters below.
On me, God bestows excellent strength
to venture at my content.

Come join me at Sunrise
The swallows are resting there
waiting for the sunrise....
then suddenly, they take to the air.
They loop and they swing
as other birds sing.....
nothing can quite compare__
to this beautiful sight
as they also take flight,
it's sunrise.
Come out with me and see this sight,
they're flying in such formations__
having a celebration.
It's too good to miss
for this you would wish
And truly you'd want for more.

May and September
It's nice going for holidays
in the month of May.....
And also September
for times to remember.
To see those colorful Autumn leaves
or beautiful blossoms that look like snow.
Moments to treasure
are such times of leisure
Strolling along and singing songs
your heart does feel so free.

Times with a Cherished Friend
I would relish and simply cherish
an outing with you once more
When you come to my door
I'll be ready for more.....
We'll go to those sights
in the bright sunlight
what a treat for me that will be.
There's time of reflection
our last time out__
when we raised our voice to the clouds.
Our hearts were in song
as we ventured along__
What glorious times are ours.

Holiday Plans
Flowing rivers, bubbling brooks
I shall go and have a look.
It does sound so wonderful
pack my bags and make them full.
Think I'll go there for a week
for excitement, I can't sleep
I can see them now!

Visits to the Beach
How I love to be there
on the seat by the stairs
It's a sunny day at the beach.
With the nice fresh breeze
in those big pine trees
and boats beyond the shore
it makes me eager for more.
