My Delicious Day

Alone Time
Originally uploaded by lewisriley

One day I ate breakfast and ran outside
And I played in the pink of the dawn.

I stayed and I played 'til the sun was high,
Then I lunched on the prickly lawn.

And on still I played in the evening shade;
And I dined when the sun was gone.

Then under the moon and the stars, in the cool,
I just drank up the night and played on.

When finally worn out and headed for bed,
As I swallowed my milk with a yawn,

I so happily thought of the delicious day
I'd be building my dreams all upon.
