Blue Health Smiles
Bullrushes sway and whisper with the breeze on the Bure riverside
Lilies float and bob as graceful swans with fluffy cygnets pass by
Under the surface an otter quietly glides
Everything is so peaceful as the reed beds sigh
Harry the heron stalks snootily along and then stops stock still
Egyptian geese honk noisily, the scene no longer as tranquil
Anglers doze, dragonflies and swallow tails flit high
Later a marsh harrier swoops in wide blue sky
The moorhen fusses busily whilst she feeds tiny young
Happily, I sit watching it all in the warming sun
Sailboats, sails billowing, creak as they tack and jibe past
Mallards with their ducklings trailing behind paddling fast
Ice cream is making some children chatter excitedly
Long lazy days enjoying spending time so happily
Everyone benefitting from Blue Health
