the morning mist blew me a kiss
luckily I caught it in my smile
and saved for a Mr. or a Miss
for later as I travel mile for mile

a healthy garden bid me ‘Good Day’
with its’ bees and flowers winking
thankfulness encircled me like a lei
perfume that inspired me thinking

white clouds pranced through blue skies
a marching band as in a fluffy parade
a day like today triggered such great highs
all alone I sing and walk to life’s serenade
