Oh What A Beautiful Morning!

Bella Shepard



Oh what a beautiful mornin'

Oh what a beautiful day

I've got a beautiful feelin'

Everythings goin' my way

Oh, the trees they're a standin' like statues

Oh, the trees they're a standin' like statues

But they sway and they sigh as they feel me pass by

And their branches are reachin' right up to the sky

Oh what a beautiful mornin'

Oh what a beautiful day

I've got a beautiful feelin'

Everythings goin' my way

Oh what a beautiful day!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Just a little ditty that I sing to myself, many a morning as I walk along tree lined streets. It's the first song heard in the musical "Oklahoma" and one of my favorites, I just had to add a verse. Hope you sing along!

      Good write Bella.

      • Bella Shepard

        Thank you dear Orchi, so glad to hear from you!

        • orchidee

          Erm, a beautiful evenin'?! Off to bed now! lol.

          • Bella Shepard

            Sleep tight, and don't let the bedbugs bite, as we say here. Wishing you sweet dreams. I'll follow my usual routine come bedtime and go outside to say goodnight to the stars, I'll tell them "hi" for you.

            • orchidee

              You got them bugs out of your bed?! lol.

              • Bella Shepard

                Doin' good Orchi, the trick is to put garlic under the mattress, works like a charm. lol

                • orchidee

                  Oh lol B. Was it a beautiful afternoon to? Do shut up Orchi, says Fido! lol.

                  • Bella Shepard

                    Give Fido a nice pat on the head for me. It was a beautiful afternoon, which was good because the next day we had a heat advisory, and it has been going on ever since with temps as high as 112 with the heat index. Won't be takin' those walks till it cools down. Hope you're having tolerable weather there.

                    • orchidee

                      Ohh, it's about -112 here, so some complain! It's pleasant really, and showers at times at present.
                      Just because we had ONE day at 40C last year, some want it every day, so they say - would be unbearable!

                    • Caring dove

                      I’ve heard of this song .. and I like your lines about the trees ))

                      Lovely writing

                      • Bella Shepard

                        Thank you my dear friend for reading and liking. I love it so much, looks like I did it twice, not intentionally. lol I'm afraid if I go back and try to fix it, I'll really screw it up , which is what happened in the first place. Have a great day!

                        read with a smile and a warm glow ..
                        that not even the prospect of the days work ahead is going to rob me of ..
                        Neville 🙂💜👍x

                        • Bella Shepard

                              (oh such abundant gaiety in worded poetry
                              oh what imagery of nature's divine in a rhyme
                              how in-step with each musical note
                              fingertips digging deep in that coat)
                              hey, I get something for trying right?
                              lol
                              (but sadly my cherished friend
                              we have found something we don't agree on
                              'such a sad day'
                              musicals, are just a no no for me
                              I'm so sorry, i mean no disrespect
                              but any time
                              I see people deep in conversation
                              and then a second later
                              they're all singing operatic facing the camera
                              I'm just cringing, my insides being twisted something violent)
                              erm.. not that i have strong feelings about it
                              no, really
                              you know me, I'm all easy going foolishness
                              .. just you know
                              I still have nightmares
                              about 2005 Producers and Chicago with richard gere
                              i still shudder at the mere thought
                              screeching 'where's me salt')
                              lmao
                              I'm half joking..
                              🤦‍♀️
                              please, forgive my uncultured ways

                              A beautiful feeling indeed. The song of the south was one of my favorites as a child. O what a beautiful morning was a song I sang many times to lift my spirits. This poem brought it back to mind and I thank you for the lift.

                              • Bella Shepard

                                Thank you dear friend, I'm so glad the song brought back good memories. Whenever I sing it on my morning walk, I can't help but feel wonderful. Good thing I walk really early because I belt it out, and the neighbors would think I'm mental. Keep it in your heart and on your lips!

                                Wow. It's such a different yet positive to hear it out. Thanks for sharing!

                                • Bella Shepard

                                  I am so sorry I didn't see your comment until now. I really appreciate you reading, and glad that you enjoyed. It's such a happy tune, can't help but make you feel good!

                                  I can hear the music in my head as I read this piece, a wonderful way to welcome morning, be it sunny or gray. Thank you for that.

                                  • Bella Shepard

                                    And thank you for reading! As you say, be it sunny or gray, it makes for a beautiful day. Take care my friend!
