It was this kind of day
a hug and kiss kind of day
a put your pole in a puddle
and fish kind of day
You ran down the big hill for fun
basked in the warm pre-spring sun
It was a big stick kind of day
a muddy crick kind of day
a ketchup and mustard
picnic kind of day
You took the hand of your best friend to hide
beneath oak trees and sky blue and wide
It was your best horse kind of day
a no-chores kind of day
an open the windows and doors kind of day
you used your paint to you let your art spread
to your cheeks and, oops, the dog’s head
You found renewed energy
forgave your enemies
noticed the small things you’ve missed
like a spider’s spun web
brighter thoughts in your head
the way that it feels to be kissed
It was a day made for races
in wide open spaces
a good day to climb way up there
the best way to tangle your hair
Yes, it was a day just like this
short sleeves, walking sticks
the only place in this world I would wish
to spend next to you in this gift.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
