On Ode to a Great Day

Oh, this day!

A merciful day it may be

With a side dish of laughter

And smiling faces the main course

 

Oh, this day!

I wish it never ending

Might the hours flow unwillingly

I’d fall of great exhaustion

 

Oh, this day!

There be no false representation

It is sure a wonderful evening

So, may the sun never set

 

Oh, this day!

So fine and becoming

No storm to be unraveled

Just the heat and our happiness

 

Oh, this day!

With these hands to hold

We will sure prevail;

Hope and I

 

Oh, this day! This day!

May there surely be another

Much like today’s

I’m shaking in my expensive clothing I can afford

 

The impatience, I just cannot take.
