The sun in the blue sky is shining it is such a beautiful day
And above the trees and the bushes white butterflies dance in an aerial display
The silver billed magpies are warbling in the warmth of the mid March sunshine
This summery early Autumn weather is something that does suit me fine
On a day like this why not i feel happy since i will be forever dead
With darkness and earth all around me and beneath and above my head
As i sit here in the backyard in the shade of a wattle sipping a pleasant red wine
I realize that i am very lucky since the pleasures of life are all mine
Where i was raised by bracken clad mountains the sky often rainy and gray
I used to daydream of sunshine in Southern Lands from there far away
The local farmers are not happy in drought like conditions for them no financial gain
But with warm weather i feel quite happy since i do know too much about rain
The luckiest man in the World today it would have to be me
As i sit drinking red wine out of the sunshine in the shade of a black wattle tree
A silver billed magpie is warbling and Nature's beauty is all around for to see
Enjoying what cannot be bought by money since the best things in life they are free.
