A Country Day

A Country Day

Coyotes calling far away,

wind is making the willows sway

creek is rushing and running away

raccoons scurrying down the pathway.

 

Darkness starts to disappear

Colors light the atmosphere

Sun is shining bright and clear

Night is gone the day is here!

 

Wind is blowing through the trees

children’s laughter on the breeze

chirping of birds and buzzing of bees

summer days filled with ease.

 

Afternoon shadows stretching long

golden sunshine streaking the lawn

supper is ready the work is done

everyone wants to come on home.

 

Evening is a peaceful time

relaxing after dinnertime

listening to the old clock chime

snuggling up for storytime.
