From My Easy Chair, Looking Into My Backyard
I contemplate the bird house as it sits upon the table
And the carpenter who made them both, my son who is so able.
I contemplate the walnut tree, the roses and the lawn;
I contemplate my many years, and wonder where theyv'e gone.
I contemplate the hummingbirds and marvel at their being.
I contemplate the pleasure of enjoying what I'm seeing.
I contemplate the fleecy clouds
That shade the summer sun...
I contemplate..... and contemplate...
And nothing else gets done !!
