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.
