It's Paradise In the Country

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Brick homes, timed sprinklers.
Plush green foliage, free flowing ponds.
Frogs singing nonstop.
It's a peaceful time in this country neighborhood.

If only the world was like this everywhere, everyday.
Quietness, birds chirping in the treetops.
It's music to my ears, heart and soul.
Paradise was put in us from the beginning of creation.

Hi Barbara

good one.

Alid

Thanks for the read. I appreciate that

Hello Barbara

I like this very much, it concurs so much with my own way of thinking. One tiny nit, may just be the way I read it but I would swap the first two words of the second stanza.

Thanks for reading and the suggestion. I'm not sure homes brick works for me. I think maybe bricked homes.

2nd verse
