Francis Duggan Sunshine Poems

With a forecast high of twenty one degrees
A beautiful evening of sunshine and breeze
On the trees and bushes birds whistle and sing
With only five days left of the calendar Spring
...

You're my soulmate and you've been good for me
And you've given me young children John and Lee
And you grow more lovely mature like good wine
My brown haired one my Jenny of Sunshine.
...

This morning I climbed out the darkened hole
And walked again in the bright light of day
The light of happiness shone in my soul
And lamp of sun shone through the clouds of gray
...

For what used to be i have shed my last tears
They are just a memory now the long gone years
It was not all sunshine and roses in the past
But the happier moments until death will last
...

Love is not all sunshine and roses as some like to say
The father of her baby daughter is not with her today
He left her in the lurch when his wild oats he had sown
And the child he helped to create she must raise on her own
...

Sunshine in the blue sky of clouds woolly gray
On a pleasant and breezy early January day
The flute of the magpie in the park by the bay
Earthly Utopia from this place cannot be far away
...

Black cattle in the sunshine of Illowa grazing today
Such a beautiful afternoon for late Autumn and May
In the mostly blue sky just a few clouds of gray
And the calendar Autumn just a few days away
...

A morning of sunshine and on the sunlit trees
The birds chirp and pipe their often sung melodies
And there is a cool freshness in the cool Summer breeze
And the temperatures pleasant around twenty degrees.
...

In the morning sunshine the magpie does sing
His gift of song to him is a natural thing
And in the hedge house sparrows birds without a song
To the pipe of the magpie are chirping along
...

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
...
