A February Day

In the sunny mostly blue sky just a few clouds of gray
The beauty of Nature is with us today
The warm air full of the buzzing of flies and nectar gathering bees
On a pleasant weather temperature high of twenty one degrees

Though the brown countryside is in need of some rain
With such pleasant weather it seems hard to complain
In the dry paddocks the cattle chewing their cuds do lay
Enjoying the warmth of a nice February day

With only the slightest of a coastal breeze
White butterflies flit around bushes and trees
Their lives as butterflies a few days maybe
From late Fall to mid Spring them you never see

With the sun on their wings in the summery sky
In pursuit of flying insects the dark swallows fly
One can only admire them these marvels of flight
Their aerial speed and dexterity makes for an amazing sight

The beauty of Nature is all around me
On this pleasant Summer's day in February
And the warbling songs are so pleasant to hear
Of the magpies who sing every day of the year.
