Each Day A Surprise Poem by Frederick Nellist

Each day nature springs a surprise
my senses awake looking up at trees.
A guard of honour awaits the sunrise
An anthem offered by the humming bees.

This beauty reflecting natures success
perfection in place for all to share.
The landscape wearing it's best dress
in complete awe I just stand and stare.

Flying silently past heading upstream
a glorious sight absolutely carefree.
A busy kingfisher it's colours a dream
how can some people choose not to see.

Time to appreciate a God given surprise
the scudding clouds the wind doth blow.
Accept these miracles and just realise
the sun and the rain forming a rainbow.

Few things ugly we are obliged to accept
like wild life's instinct to keep alive.
Not really ugly put into proper concept
These wonderful things still a surprise.
