The burst of sunshine
Brought forth a smile on my face
As I looked out the window of my humble abode
There in the after math of a sudden down pour of rain
Bathing its self in the puddles that dappled across the lane
Was a small brown breasted fantail
Preening its feathers with care
Then to my surprise a second and third
Flew in to swim in the puddles of rain
It was like a family at bath time with little ones splashing and playing
Enjoying and having fun in the warm summer sun
Then our local cat came out to hunt and play
And frightened the fantails as they scattered away
Even though brief, it was a wonderful sight
I do so enjoy Mother Nature’s abundance in life
