I feel so thankful,
And know I have been blessed
With the beauty and splendor
Of nature at its very best.
...
Who can remember the excitement of the hayrides
You enjoyed on Autumn nights past and gone?
Who can recall the first genuine kiss
You gave to a shy girl as the night wore on?
...
I'm asking a bothersome question, my darling,
A direct question I can not hold,
That arouses some anguish in my mind,
As the perils of life come and go.
...
There'll always be a Thanksgiving Day
As words of appreciation fill the air.
The church bells ringing incessantly
While people bow their head in prayer.
...
There is no more welcomed spring guest
Than the robin with its orange colored breast.
A splendid bird in the midst of the grass
Searching for insects and scurrying so fast.
...
There is one person in the world today
Whose love and devotion I can claim,
And though I have disappointed you
I know that your love for me is the same.
...
A pretty little girl - on this special day,
Thinking of her mother she loved so,
Wrapped colorful paper around a box
And carefully tied it with a simple knot.
...
The production of the Triumph Spitfire fell on hard times,
A victim of short-sighted management led to its fate,
Compounded with safety and emission regulations,
And an unfavorable dollar/pound exchange rate.
...
My life is like a storybook,
Holding neither grudges or hate,
Yearning for the golden, glory days
While strolling towards the open gate.
...
The Leader of Nature raises a baton,
Enabling a summertime symphony
To blend the aroma of colorful flowers
With the environment, so picturesque and free.
