Summer Joy
My heart sings a tune of happiness amidst all things great
As it heralds the dawn of a new day that draws nigh
The roses of summer grown on the fence’s main gate
Whilst the birds sing their lovely tunes with a sweet cry.
I love the breath of the flower’s fragrance so strong,
The smell of freshly mowed grass lingering in the air,
As in green pastures I roam and lie therein ever long
Within the flowering bushes and animals so fair.
I will whistle a song of love and purest delight
As I weave along my merry way and explore
With no one and nothing barring my sight
Until my eyes feast on my dear Geordie, whom I adore.
’Tis no wonder the delight of summer days well spent
Are the dearest of times filled with joy, knowing no discontent.
