\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Beautiful Day<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s a day. Oh, what a day.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The sun is shining & I want to play.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I head out and I walk around.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I start walking towards down town.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before long, I see some kids.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They are playing Make A Wish.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I asked one what he wished for.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He said vacation. He wanted more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I laughed and went on my way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is such a beautiful day.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Down town, people were in a hurry.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Going here & there with such a worry.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was kicked back, taking my time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was in no hurry. I didn\u2019t mind.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw a guy and a parking maid.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were arguing about a ticket she made.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He said he was only a minute late.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She said it\u2019s o.k. This is not a date.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I walked on with a smile on my face.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Things were happening all over the place.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I walked by The Farmer\u2019s Market.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

People zoomed in like it was a target.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh fruits and vegetables galore.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who could ask for anything more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eventually, I came to the park.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately, it wasn\u2019t yet dark.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

People were having a picnic lunch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kids were playing. There was a bunch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone seemed to be having fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They were all enjoying the sun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, on my walk back home.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw a dog burying a bone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

He was in the middle of the lawn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A man ran out and he was gone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The guy looked mad as hell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, he seemed to take it well.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Further along some lovers were kissing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I passed by. I knew what I was missing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I got home I called my girl.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking with her gives me a thrill.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We made plans for later in the evening.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What a day. It was very pleasing.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
