Thoughts on Moving to Wales

Listen to the whisper of the water

by the willow, Listen to the buzzing

of the ever busy bee.

Listen to the lowing of the cattle in

the meadow, Listen to the country

and relax along with me.

See the sweeping swallows

bringing promise of the Springtime,

See the modest primrose and the

violet so shy.

See the little calves the new born

lambs upon the hillside,

See the country, see the beauty, let

the world go by.

Come now, leave the city life, the

hassle and the stresses,

Here the days pass peacefully,

there’s time to stand and stare.

Watch the changing seasons, see

the earth don many dresses,

Here for city dwellers is the

answer to a prayer.
