I sat in my garden sipping freshly brewed coffee,
gazing at the wall of tall cypress trees.
A peaceful feeling surrounded by greenery.
Spike Lavender swaying in a spring morning breeze,
burgundy roses answered by bouncing their smiley faces.
I sat in my garden sipping freshly brewed coffee.
The birds perched on the neighbor's pepper trees,
chirping and echoing each other's songs of love.
A peaceful feeling surrounded by greenery.
Bundles of green grapes waited with patience to ripe,
the weight of the growing plums bent the branches.
I sat in my garden sipping freshly brewed coffee.
A hummingbird flapped his wings sixty times a second,
sustained himself dipping the long beak into the nectar.
A peaceful feeling surrounded by greenery.
A family of lizards roamed on the ground and the walls,
Butterflies danced "The Blue Danube" of Johann Strauss.
I sat in my garden sipping freshly brewed coffee,
a peaceful feeling surrounded by greenery.
