A Perfect Day
Yesterday was a good day
a pleasant lunch with a close friend
but not a perfect day
with the wind and rain.
The day before wasn’t bad
a great book and a long walk
but not a perfect day
a barking dog gave me a start.
Last week went well
a lot got done and some with fun
but not a perfect day
the crabby neighbor was a bother.
.
Last year had a fine day
a picnic by the water
but not a perfect day
with sand and hot sun .
Years ago I remember a day
clambering up hills and in buildings
but not a perfect day
being lost in strange places.
Maybe tomorrow will be
a perfect day.
