A Happier Place
To sit by the river,
The sun on my face,
Transports me at once
To a happier place.
I know that so many
Would never agree,
But the city (and river!)
Are perfect for me.
The view isn’t private
And quiet, it’s not,
Yet this bench by the river’s
A wonderful spot.
A cat on a leash
Jumped up, looking to share,
But she left with her owner
To I don’t know where.
There’s always a chance
For a little surprise
When I sit by the river
With wide-open eyes.
