What a wonderful world we live in So many luxuries at our fingertips What a long way we have come But some of the loveliest luxuries in our busy lives are free Like relaxing around a roaring fire at home talking to friends
Like Coole – mystical, magical Coole Listening to the soothing sound of silence Nature’s leveller Swans sitting sentry on their territory on the lake Their long graceful necks watchful and haughty Trees reaching up, up to the sky If they could talk, what tales they’s tell Of the illustrious men and women who have walked before us
Ah, but the loveliest gift of all is the gift of a smile A big open smile that touches another human being That wipes away the stress for even a moment Leaving both feeling better Or is this just me getting older, oh dear Reality, too, is a leveller, I fear.
