As I lie here in my hammock totally at ease

I can hear the sound of nature and feel a gentle breeze,

The roar of traffic and sirens can be heard

But is soon forgotten with the sound of chirping birds.

From the great almond the leaves are falling

And in the distance the parrots calling.

Through my windows I can see

The trees full of blossoms for the birds and bees.

Huge trees too beautiful for words

Planted to give shade and a home for the birds,

Chimes are all around and ringing

Birds are in the air and singing.

White clouds above in the great blue yonder

Fills me with awe and makes me wonder.

The swing in my garden gives me great pleasure

And reminds me that I have a treasure

In having a piece of God’s beautiful earth

In Grand Cayman the home of my birth.

So I give thanks to God above

For giving me life and all this to love.
