This is based on places I've lived throughout my life. I don't have horses and chickens anymore, but wrote down some of my memories. I have always talked to animals. Need music and vocals.
Cup of Nature
© 2022 Cindy Prince
Hot cup of coffee
Sipped on my deck
Birdsong all around me
Chickens crow and peck
Fluffy clouds above me
My horses eating hay
Not sure how I could
Make a better day
Chorus
So I'll take a cup of nature
Cause it soothes and I sigh
I'll sip it very slowly
And watch the pretty sky
I'll take in it with each breath
As I watch the pretty sky
I have a light jacket
I wear it on my walk
I see so many animals
And I stop awhile and talk
I check on the new kittens
With their mother in the barn
All this I do with joy
And it's barely after dawn
Repeat chorus
I gather morning eggs
I sing along the way
I clean the horse's stalls
Add some feed and hay
I check the big water tank
See tadpoles swimming there
Soon they'll be tree frogs
Their mating calls in the air
Repeat chorus

I'm really hitting on some great lyrics this FAWM - more so than most years, I think, and this set of lyrics is among them Cindy. What an idyllic life you must lead. I feel rested and refreshed after reading these vivid words. Beautiful write Cindy. So well said.

So descriptive! Lovely feel to this. Taking a cup of nature is a neat concept and well delivered! This line is delightful: "All this I do with joy
And it's barely after dawn". Wonderful.
