The Best Things Poem by Francis Duggan

It is true that the best things in life they are free
Nature's beauty around us we need not pay for to see
For a walk in the park such a beautiful day
With the sun shining bright in a sky blue and gray
A cool sort of freshness in the mild coastal breeze
And birds chirping and whistling on bushes and trees
In the southern May and the calendar Winter near
The weather quite beautiful for the time of year
The deciduous leaves on their trees turning brown
And departing their branches and slowly drifting down
To the earth that creates and receives life for to decay
We too like the leaves will return to earth one day
And though not everybody with this would agree
It is true that the best things in life they are free.
