A Beautiful Day
Well, it’s a day. Oh, what a day.
The sun is shining & I want to play.
I head out and I walk around.
I start walking towards down town.
Before long, I see some kids.
They are playing Make A Wish.
I asked one what he wished for.
He said vacation. He wanted more.
I laughed and went on my way.
It is such a beautiful day.
Down town, people were in a hurry.
Going here & there with such a worry.
I was kicked back, taking my time.
I was in no hurry. I didn’t mind.
I saw a guy and a parking maid.
They were arguing about a ticket she made.
He said he was only a minute late.
She said it’s o.k. This is not a date.
I walked on with a smile on my face.
Things were happening all over the place.
I walked by The Farmer’s Market.
People zoomed in like it was a target.
Fresh fruits and vegetables galore.
Who could ask for anything more.
Eventually, I came to the park.
Fortunately, it wasn’t yet dark.
People were having a picnic lunch.
Kids were playing. There was a bunch.
Everyone seemed to be having fun.
They were all enjoying the sun.
Then, on my walk back home.
I saw a dog burying a bone.
He was in the middle of the lawn.
A man ran out and he was gone.
The guy looked mad as hell.
But, he seemed to take it well.
Further along some lovers were kissing.
I passed by. I knew what I was missing.
When I got home I called my girl.
Talking with her gives me a thrill.
We made plans for later in the evening.
What a day. It was very pleasing.
