A Joyful Day Spent

Billowing tufts of blue and green
create my peaceful place.
I think my heart has seldom seen
such happiness and grace.

The sky's lit with an amber hue
that guides me on my way.
I trip the light fantastic through
this joyful sunny day.

I'll take a walk into the park.
Or maybe I'll take flight
in a hot air balloon till dark
has glazed the day to night.

Perhaps I'll get a bite to eat
and look up some old friends.
It could be my bed will I greet
as this pleasant day ends.
