Brazilian Lilt

Brazilian music plays in the background
Barely heard
The rhythm of the beat pounding
Samba
Bringing smiles to faces
Palm trees blowing in the wind
White sandy beaches
Smooth as silk to the touch
Bright colored umbrellas
Children playing by the water
Ice cream vendors selling their wares
Kites flying high in the air
Some resembling birds
Corcovado in the background
Watching everything
Sugar Loaf mountain
Beautiful tiled sidewalks
Make a mosaic
Glorious blue skies
Dotted with clouds
Soft Brazilian music plays
Barely heard
Samba
Bringing smiles to all
It’s a Brazilian lilt
