It is flowery bloom in spring
As beauty adorns Nature and
Today I heard a cuckoo sing.

My Song
The music of my heart
Beats like a drum
An ongoing work of art
Always play my part
As a guitar pick does thrum
The music of my heart
When did this symphony start? . . .

Fall showers are moving in
Bring forth torrential waters
Thunder with sounds a din
Rain falls flooding all within
As winds blow and lightning darts
Giving the sky a malicious grin
To a cyclone it is . . .

I love to gaze into the skies
Backdrop blue; here and there a cloud
At night stars shine like fireflies
Watching how a condor flies
Rare glimpse of a bald eagle, proud
I love . . .

our sweet love, this first kiss,
I'm overwhelmed with fear.

Robins sing in green
Spring flowers fertile
Flutter butterflies serene.
Tulips and daffodils seen
Humming bees agile
Robins sing in green.
Stars in sky grin
Chirping birds puerile . . .
