Fot That Was the Day

For That Was The Day The sun was shining bright The flowers were all in bloom The grass was green and sharp It was early afternoon The birds sang beautifully In the sky not a cloud The air was warm and breezy The noise light and mild A rabbit hopped for pleasure The trees were full of leaves From one flower to another A butterfly flew with ease Seemed like a perfect day Yet that wasn’t meant to be For that was the minute You were taken away from me For an instant the skies turned dark If only in my mind Escape from this pain There was no way to find Yet in the beauty of the day My head was hanging low Lost in the corner of my mind I had nothing left to show
