I Feel Lucky Poem by Francis Duggan

Why should i yearn to visit beautiful places from here far away
When wherever i turn to look every day
Nature at her finest is all around me
Such beauty that i do feel privileged for to see
Though here mine to many is a stranger's face
I feel so lucky to be living in such a beautiful place
A magpie is warbling on a black wattle tree
And i hear the familiar call of the pee wee
The countryside around looking so green after recent rain
And water again flowing in the long time dry drain
A nice sunny high eighteen degrees for the day
Quite beautiful weather for late Autumn and May
Though to many here mine may be a stranger's face
I feel lucky to be living in such a beautiful place.
