the sun rose up
at dawn. The robin sang
her song. The grass grew
an inch or two. The daffodils

bloomed their flowering
heads. And the roses stood
bright red. The azure sky winked
at me as I passed by. And the trees

were fruit baskets of golden
delicious apples. Butterflies danced
in honey fields. Bunnies pranced
and did cartwheels! I wasn’t

so spry myself. But as the day
stretched out I saw a curve around
my mouth turn into a smile. And so,
life is worthwhile.
