What A Wonderful Day I Had Had.

Goldfinch60



What a wonderful day I had had!

Met a new friend for coffee in the morning,

We sat and talked,

Talked of many things.

He had problems but spoke of them,

I just listened and it helped him.

I spoke of my wonderful life,

Especially my wonderful life with Joyce.

This all helped him feel that life would be good.

We left the coffee house as good friends,

With a friendship that will last.

 

In the afternoon I went to croquet,

Hitting the balls with abandon,

Two croquet friends with me.

We all hit some wonderful shots,

And some extremely bad ones,

But throughout the afternoon

There was humour and laughter,

Three of us enjoying this game,

Enjoying this game in joy and friendship.

 

Then came the finale.

I went to the cinema with a very good friend,

I bought some wine for us

We found our seats and sat and waited,

Waited for the film to start.

We had both seen the original film

But this was a new version,

A new version of West Side Story.

What a film!

I was drawn in from the start,

The acting singing and dancing captured me.

Such a wonderful film,

We left the cinema in raptures

Stunned by how good it was

Humming the songs from it,

Humming all the way home.

 

I arrived home,

Looked back on my day,

And knew in my heart and mind

What a wonderful day I had had.

    Ohhh, a great day you had, no fear
    My melodious tones of singing you did not hear
    No time to listen to me
    Which is like two cats fighting, you see -
    So they say! heehee.

    • Goldfinch60

      Hee, hee, hee Orchi.

                    Thank you so much sir for those feel good vibes
                    Whenever sadness creeps I hit your page
                    The happy days
                    And your recount
                    Makes it too beautiful
                    I can imagine myself living those moments
                    Have a great day ahead Sir
