All around us is wonderfully.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Listen and enjoy yourself. It is dawn. The first appearance of daylight is in the morning. Everything is coming out to meet the Sun light. The meadows, forests, rivers and lakes are feeling happy at this moment showing their fresh and vital beauty. Flowers, birds, animals and people – all of them are feeling themselves with great power of the Sun expressing in it their own language. The flowers are showing their colours: yellow, red, orange, violet, rose, white, pink. The birds are singing their wonderful songs: the animals are silently observing the surroundings. The butterflies and bees are dancing in the air. Every creature on earth is thankful to the Sun. Indeed, there is a lot to be thankful for. This is beauty. This is joy.
The poem: YOURS AND MINE.
The Sun, the trees, the grass, the sky.
The silver moon that’s sailing by.
The rain and dew and snowflakes white.
The flowers sweet and stars of bright.
The songs of birds, wind whispering.
The autumn leaves, the buds of spring such lovely things to hear and see.
Belong to you, belong to me.
