There we were my friend and I
Standing on the croquet lawn,
Playing the game we both enjoy,
Enjoy so much.
As we were going round the lawn
We spoke and bantered as normal,
And then we stopped,
As the thought came to us.
What a beautiful day it was,
The sun was out,
Sometimes hidden by a white cloud,
A gentle breeze cooling us,
The wonderful world of nature
Surrounding us,
As far as the eye could see.
Such a wonderful day,
A day to be with friends,
And to be with nature’s wonder,
And of course,
A wonderful day to play croquet.
