What a Wonderful World

(my version of ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong)

I see blankets of snow,

Bare branches too,

I see snowflakes fall,

For me and you,

And I think to myself,

“What a wonderful world!”

I see hot summer days,

The sun shining too,

Small children playing,

School starting soon,

And I think to myself,

“What a wonderful world!”

I see fluttering yellow leaves,

Barely clinging on to their life,

I see birds flying away,

Leaving us to enjoy,

The wonderful world of fall to come!

I see green poking out,

From blankets of snow,

Like sleepy little heads,

Just ready to show,

And I think to myself,

“What a wonderful world!”
