Only The Memories

The leaves on the trees gently stirring in the breeze
In weather temperatures near to perfect of twenty degrees
In the blue and sunny sky just a  few clouds of gray
How good to be living on such a nice day

The birds who do sing every day of the year
The flute like songs of the magpies melodious and clear
The pee wees are calling in the park by the bay
Earthly Utopia from this place cannot be far away

Of my worth as a rhymer i have reason to doubt
But in Nature no shortage of things for  one to rhyme about
In our Earth Mother so much beauty for all to admire
Of singing her praises could one ever tire

The children in the park playground are enjoying their play
Youth does have it's fling as some are known to say
The sound of their laughter a thing of great joy
Bring back memories  to me of life as a boy

Where north of this town in a paark far away
My young friends and i we did laugh at our play
And only the memories with me now remain
Of a time that i never can live in again.
