It is such a lovely Decembers Day All my cares have flown away A squirrel runs along my fence Then jumps down on my garden bench. The crows are many they are nearby They spread there wings and away they fly All is quiet their is no one around This solitary moment the sweetest sound. The squirrel it seems has again returned It's amazing what we humans can learn Looking at there instinctive ways Now the magpie arrives and has his say. I don't get involved I just let them be I head for the kitchen for biscuits and tea Not much to do on this December morn So I watch all those antics there on my lawn. Well pretty soon it will be all actions go There are things to do and that I know I hear upstairs those moving feet This solitary moment is now complete.
