On Such A Nice Day

Yellow leaves falling in the cool morning breeze
In the park of the town off of the deciduous trees
On the second day of May in the late southern Fall
And for the time of year mild weather overall
The sun shining though not warm in the blue and gray sky
And the dark welcome swallows near to the ground fly
The flying insects they prey on to Mother Earth near
They seldom do fly high at this time of year
Though the cooler and wetter months of Winter only four weeks away
The spring it is nearer with each passing day
The bird who does sing every day of the year
The flute of the magpie melodious and clear
And though sun not so warm in sky blue and gray
So nice to be living on such a nice day.
