Enjoying the sunshine

There’s no rain in the forecast for the day ahead,
Sunshine greets you when you climb out of bed.
This day is your own, you can choose what to do,
And in this sunlight, the outdoors beacons you.

A chance to garden, putting in those new flowers,
Finding contentment and losing the hours.
The peacefulness found in a long country walk,
Meeting up with a friend and having a talk.

There’s the laughter of children playing outside,
Dashing around, finding somewhere to hide,
Before going with friends, down to the park,
On the swings and the slides, until it gets dark.

Then out comes the barbecue, there’s plenty to eat!
With friends coming around to join in with the treat.
Happiness shared with the food, all are well fed,
As the moon starts to rise, you retire to bed.
