A beautiful summer evening
A watercolor sky
Painted in pinks, purples, and blues
Brings a tear to my eye

Birds sing sweetly
Their songs before sleep
Singing a lullaby
In the woods dark and deep

A doe steps cautiously into the yard
followed by two spotted fawns
Who frolic and play and jump side to side
With lots of energy to expend before dawn

I quietly slip back to the house
Not wanting to frighten anything away
Beauty of nature surrounds us all
A perfect ending to a perfect day
