Beautiful Day
I once fell prey to circumstance
Took away all of my romance
I bounced around from girl to girl
Learned every oyster has a pearl
Sometimes within the things I feel
My broken heart had lost its will
Lost in the game I had to play
I rode the “Top,” and spun away
Freedom was no more than a whim
My life was looking rather grim
Many lovers but had no love
I had no one to hold above
Many years since I had been free
My monkey had its hooks in me
Then came the day I met my wife
She brought romance into my life
She helped me up then helped me see
The beauty of the soul in me
We have faced so many trials
Together walked many miles
We faced our demons, faced our ghost
Scraped all the burnt up off our toast
Whatever trials we must face
It’s each other that we embrace
For within our love we have found
Nothing in life can break us down
There is no storm that we can’t weather
As long as we are together
Lord this poem to you I pray
Thanking you for another day
Another day that’s full of love
It is my wife I hold above
Trials come and then trials go
Together we reap what we sow
We turn trials into blessings
As we face what needs addressing
We live a very simple life
Together as husband and wife
Within our love it’s clear to see
Everything is as it should be
I just have one thing left to say
Is this not a beautiful day
