In The Warm Sunshine Of January Poem by Francis Duggan

In the warm sunshine of January in the Parkland by the sea
The nectar gathering bees are buzzing around every flowering bush and tree
On a pleasant day in mid Summer of around 26 degrees
With the hoarse cries of the wattlebirds floating in the freshening breeze
Children in the children's play space on the swings laugh as they swing up and down
And butterflies dance in the air in the parkland of the town
Wish today could last forever just a perfect Summer's day
Not too cool or not too warm just perfect in every way
An artist on her sketch book sketch the water-birds on the park lake
One day she may become famous a name for herself she will make
With her paintings of wildlife art critics her praises may sing
Just to express yourself through Nature in itself a marvellous thing
It is such a pleasant evening around twenty six degrees
And the birds of song are singing in the freshening coastal breeze.
