The Greatest Thing

The greatest thing I chased the sun until it set I watched the rain while getting wet I went to sleep so I could dream I danced beneath a soft moon beam I sang a song way out of tune I pictured waves out past the dune I climbed a hill covered with snow I planted seeds to watch them grow I waved at cars just passing by I pondered clouds upon the sky I counted stars high up above I wrote a poem filled with love But, The greatest thing that I could do . . . I fell in love with only you

Good Morning Chris. Just the way it should be. This is a gem. It has a wonderful innocent quality to it as well as a healthy quality. In my eyes all is right in reality and poetically. Well done completely. Such a wonderful way to start the morning.

Well, I can tell you when I sing out of tune my dogs run and hide under the bed and won't come out until I stop. : ) Thank you so very much my sweet friend. I always look forward to your visits.
