What A Change The Sunshine Can Bring

What a change the sunshine can bring

To the greyness we have suffered

My old friend sucks in the hot rays

And buds appear upon the branches

Sitting on the fence the birds sing

No longer by the darkness silenced

Nature resplendent in so many ways

It is glorious to see such changes

Now the children dance and skip along

My pathway on their way to school

No anoraks or Wellingtons on their feet

Hand in hand with their happy teachers

I venture out to join the happy throng

Laughing infectiously like a fool

Passers-by nod and smile in the street

Walking in time with the little marchers
