A Happy Day

A Happy Day

Oh happiness was happening here
it was in the light
the way the shadows fell away
back into the distance
allowing all the spring flowers
to come out and play
happiness was just in the air this day

The blue forget me nots
or starlight
or baby blue eyes
whatever they call them
sprinkled and twinkling in the grass
roses, wisteria, lilac,
irises of every color combination
azaleas, rhodedendron trees
and most things nobody ever remembers
the name of
especially those without a garden home
who dont get outside to sweat
in the loving life giving dirt

So happiness was here to play
and yet I was busy in my thoughts
counting the hours
the full hours of the day
