A Summers Day


Oh, What a beautiful day,
Walking by the water way.
Listening to the birds singing,
Watching ducks, and swans, swimming.
We walk to the cafe and eat ice cream,
Then visit the château, so white and clean.
We walk slowly back, along the river,
Seeing the reeds, all of a quiver.
The sound of the water, flowing along,
Makes me want to burst into song.
