A sunny afternoon

It's a sunny afternoon

and my spirits rise,

my soul is full of warmth,

I find true happiness.

The intense blue of the sky

makes me feel alive,

I try to seize a sunbeam,

the place becomes magical.

Butterflies fly among the flowers

and their wings show bright markings,

branches sway gently with the breeze,

leaves turn into precious emeralds.

The garden fraught with colours

looks like a nice picture,

I stand gazing at the view,

I'm enraptured by its charm.

It's a sunny afternoon

and the hope springs,

the beauty of the world

is in front of my eyes.
