In the early hours of dawn
As I awaken from my rest
Just as the sun arises
That's the time that I like best

On this balmy Spring morn
With my cup of tea in hand
I sit out in my garden
And look out across the land

I spy a mother blackbird
Building a nest in a tree
I try and sit real still
As she looks cautiously at me

My yard slowly comes to life
As the birds begin to chatter
Sitting here amongst my Eden
Nothing else seems to matter

Soon I'll start to hear the traffic
As I dream my life away
Here I'm at one with Mother Nature
What a way to start the day

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Oh Sue ... I am green with envy. Everything here is brown or dead or gone to sleep for the long and cold winter.

How glad I am to be able to enjoy Spring through you. It warms my heart and toes.  

Hugs and luvs, Marti
