As I sit and look up at the blue sky
And watch the birds soar up so very high
And see the sun rise and light up the day,
I smile and feel that everything is okay.
People jet off to far and distant lands,
Going to shores to play upon hot sands,
Leaving behind nothing but the vapour trail,
Post cards are written and put in the mail.
People emerge ready to start the day,
Each one going on their own little way,
Hustle and bustle is starting to show,
More and more movement as they go to and fro.
The man walks his dog with a ball in his hand,
Watching the throw the dog sees where is lands,
Off he bounds to bring back his favourite toy,
The man watches his pet filled with joy.
I start the engine and go on my way,
No more time to sit and watch, must earn my pay,
Pheasants, rabbits, hares and the odd vole too,
Dart in the hedges as I pass, as if on cue.
At last I`m home and the day is done,
I sit in the garden in the setting sun,
The sweet smell of jasmine fills the air,
I sit and relax without a care.
