Such A Marvelous Thing Poem by Francis Duggan

The past is a memory that in reality has gone
But for as long as i can live i want to live on
In the sunlit parkland the birds chirp and sing
The great gift of life is a marvelous thing
The now is what matter the future ahead
And time does tick on we'll be forever dead
The silver gulls mewing in the park by the bay
So great to be living on such a nice day
Of the beauty around me a poet would write
Poems for others to read and enjoy and recite
The weather temperature pleasant near twenty degrees
And Nature's sweet aroma wafting in the freshening breeze
That rustle the leaves in the sunlit gum tree
Where Nature's great beauty is all around me.
