Annagloor In May

We were quite contented though money wise poor
When Spring came to visit green old Annagloor
The hawthorns were cloaked in blooms of white to gray
And the old fields resplendent in their wildflowers of May

From wet and cold months of living on silage and hay
The cattle out of wintering sheds gaining weight by the day
And the songs of the nesting birds a joy for to hear
May in Annagloor is such a nice time of year

I am happy and content in my life today
Though i sometimes do think of places far away
Where i grew to love Nature when i was a boy
And learning of her ways today i enjoy

The past may be gone but the mental images remain
Of the old fields in May lush and green after rain
When the male songbirds sing on the leafy trees
Their pleasant notes carrying in the freshening breeze

We live in the now seems true for to say
And tomorrow the past it will be today
Yet in my flights of fancy my thoughts sometimes stray
To the lush and green fields of Annagloor in May.
