A GOOD DAY

This day went by and

It was the little things

That left me in wonder

While the major happenings

Passed me by.

Some say ignorance is bliss

I thought the sun reflecting

Off the snow mountains at

The shoreline was amazing

I overheard a complaint about

A glitch in unemployment

Payments for someone

Temporarily laid off and

I thought this was

A world I never made.

I watched 122 railroad cars

Cross the road in front of me

No problem, I was not in a hurry

All of the things I needed for

My income tax work were

Right where I left them

I felt like a pioneer driving through

The whirling snow in my truck

At naptime, I dreamt that

Lionel Leo Hampton was playing

A special percussion piece for me

The howling of the wind woke me

I tended to a few chores, then

Watched the sunset. 

The reflection on the lake

Made it appear to be two suns

The color was magnificent

I fixed a simple dinner

Sweet potatoes and applesauce

A little white wine for me

An Agatha Christy mystery

Gave proof to the fact that

I am not much of a detective

The kitchen was cleaned and

That about did it, except for

Late evening prayers

Life can be simple and beautiful
