Excuse me as I wile away the day
The sky is blue and blooms are on display
Sweet fragrance beckons me to linger near
Midst present circumstances while they’re here.

Tomorrow may bring with it clouds of gray
Torrential rain that threatens long to stay
A dismal gloominess that births despair
That has me longing for a day this fair.

Today the sun is shining on my way
And balmy breezes cause the leaves to sway
In rhythmic harmony the birds all sing
Sweet jubilation that befits the King.

So pardon me, I don’t mean to convey
That I’m aloof, please do not go away
Recline with me beneath this azure sky
Midst present circumstances, you and I.

Nan

Midst present circumstances, you and I.'

I came to the meadow to recline
in friendship 'neath your azure sky
Joining of hands in treasure abounds
Shhhhh, friendship needs not a sound~

Delightful serenity~
