Today Was a Good Day

I woke up early to the sound of birds singing 
A warm, cheery feeling washed over me
I make my coffee and sit in my yard
The sun is peeking over the side of the mountain 
Not a cloud in the sky
Today is going to be a good day

The commute to work is pleasant 
The tunes on the radio are spot on
The weather is delightful 
The scenery is breathtaking 
The happiness is intoxicating 
Today is a good day so far

Workday went by quickly 
Took a walk on the beach
Talked with a dear friend from years gone by
Ate dinner on the patio 
I watched a spectacular sunset
Today is a good day so far

As the day comes to a close
I can’t help but smile
I had let the sun shine in
It’s rays reached deep into my soul
My mind is at peace
Today was a good day

A wonderful sentiment to having a good day. We often forget to remember the good days.
