Gifts of the Day
Irises under the trees
Beautiful ladies enjoying the breeze
Purple, violet, yellow
Balloons for a child that will bring him
A smile for the day
Cartwheeling schoolgirls roll by
Not a care in the world
Just a giggling smile
Pretty ballerinas
A man with his mother
Just walking and sharing the day
Pantomimes juggling jests
Renaissance wizardry that no one can best
Sharing chocolate ice cream
Dripping with laughter
Enjoying this wonderful day
Homewardly strolling along
Clouds hover weightless but seeming so strong
Wondrous works of beauty
The best things in life are for free,
They're just gifts of the day
The best things in life are for free;
They're just gifts of the day
