A Good Day.

Goldfinch60



The day was over,

Into bed I slid

And just lay there,

Thinking,

Thinking about my day.

 

A feeling of peace came over me

As I lay there gently breathing,

Awaiting sleep to come.

 

As I drifted into my dreams

I realised,

That today

Had been a good day.

    Good write Gold.
    Ain't no good day in 1066, when I turned up. It would have been good, if I had not arrived! lol

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Orchi.

      That it would Orchi, that it would.

        I caught the No.7 bus to Hastings that day. Or did I ride me horse there?! Hi ho, Silver. Was I the Lone Ranger's brother?

      • Doggerel Dave

        Yes - they do happen. those days are what make life special.
        A polished little gem of a day and a poem of similar quality, Andy.

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you Dave, yes they do happen and hopefully there will be many more to come.

          lol, its a rare trait to be so in touch with one's youthful innocence, after the winds of time have had a good go at dimming all that naïve hope from our horizons.. thank you!
          for reminding us, that yes life was truly that simple: once

          • Goldfinch60

            Are these words for this Poem Mek or for another one?

              🙂 Didn't think you worried that much, Andy

              • Goldfinch60

                I wouldn't want another poet to miss words written for them Dave, it may make there day.

                  Good point, Andy - it might....perhaps; who knows....?

                      Love it Andy! At my age, every day I wake up and realize I am still here, is a good day!

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Same with me Fred, same with me.

                        If you can climb the stairs to bed, then its been a good day, you survived. If you can descend the stairs without injury the following morning, its been a good night.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          So true d a, so today will be a good day, I managed to get down the stairs, out some music on and got the PC to work.

                              It feels so good when we know before sleep that the day has been kind to us Andy - I love your fine outlook on life my friend.
