Happy Day

Feel the cool grass between your toes
As evening arrives and your heart knows
That any day is good without bad news
And a little time to dance sans these shoes
Calming the soul and soothing the mind
Leaving all your cares far behind
Opening door to this moment’s setting sun
World turning and right here this day’s done
And far to the West where I may be
The door shows that soon I’ll see
The glow of your setting sun in time
No borders and no purpose you’ll find
Separating you and I in anything more than time
If we all find joy in music, and lyrics that rhyme
Then we all know that happy is a state of mind
One that we choose and enjoy if everyone is kind
And the open door from today to tomorrow glows
As sunset’s fade into night and new sunrise shows
That today and tomorrow is but a thought
Like borders whose definition we have wrought
From the imagination that we are somehow greater
If we define our lines clearer and straighter
Like the day knows the difference from this end
to tomorrow’s begin
And the distance between, matters not, if you send
The joy of your yesterday to my today
And we all enjoy this very happy day!
