How Marvelous Life Is Poem by Francis Duggan

How marvelous life is on a day like today
In the sunny blue sky just a few clouds of gray
The magpie lark sings his familiar pee wee
A bird familiar to many and familiar to me
The splendid colors of Nature an amazing thing
The capeweed in bloom on the fourth day of Spring
A poet of such beauty would feel inspired to write
A poem for lovers of Nature poetry to read and enjoy and recite
The wattle trees covered in yellow blooms a sight to behold
The capeweed in their millions in their petals of gold
Introduced from South Africa in Australia a designated weed
But when in full bloom to look at quite pretty indeed
The magpies singing in the sunlit park by the bay
How great to be living on such a nice day.
