The Blessing of A Breeze
Nature, my musings.
The Blessing Of A Breeze.
A joyful thing is happening today
A soft cool breeze is blowing my way
After the scorching heat, it gives welcome respite
It’s cooling my face, it’s such a delight.
Washing over me still, like a wave to the shore
I sit here hoping it’s opened the door
To some cooler days now the breeze has begun
That will cool us all down, a little less sun:
Will be welcome I’m sure to each and to all,
From workers in shops, to children in school.
Summer is lovely, this is of no doubt
But a lovely cool breeze helps bring about
A feeling of joy, and contentment and calm
It rolls over my face and over my arms
And sitting in the shade but seeing sunshine
Is one of life’s pleasures, and this one is all mine.
