Sol

SOL’S A SHINING Sol’s a shining, And dog is laying around, For on this day Winter has made her home in residence, And bought another dimension to feeling Adding to a wonderful time of year, And I sit in contentment be And bask in Sol’s feathered warmth; And let the world around Pass with noisy traffic abound, And siren in background, Clear sky rain surrendered A notch in the gauge indicates the occurrence, Garden dressed in freshness splendid, A zephyr stirs the leave’s, On boughs of trees parked within the garden here And beyond the garden fence, Jackass from beyond laughs, laughs, and laughs again To me he is friend in background far, Butterfly dressed in yellow hues Flitters and flutters on upward drift, As winter shadows dance and prance adorn the land, Papaya tree burdened down with fruity treasure plenty, Banana tree heavily pregnant hangs prodigiously to ground, It’s this time of the year for reflection in the knowledge That I have plenty of blessings that abound And wrap their arms around, That I have much not to take for granted: And Sol’s a shining, And dog is laying around.
