A sunny day

Just out for a drive with the one I love by my side

 

A Sunny Day

 

 

Sun filled skies ignite the fields in colorful array

of flowers growing ever tall, this summertime display

The beauty that does meet our eyes so comforts all we see

a Sunday drive, uncharted roads, together you and me

 

A softer breeze we shall not feel, the wind about our hair

on journeys off to anywhere that we two love to share

Scenery of heaven sent down every road we drive

your hand in mine, a favorite song, so glad that we’re alive

 

Majestic oaks, their leaves of green, create our solitude

so many years their world has been amongst the summer blooms

Blue sky dreams and butterflies, the magic that we find

tiger lilies line the country streets on which we wind

 

Love is our companion, constant, everywhere we go

precious is the feeling as we take in nature slow

On this early morning as the world does seem to shine

enjoying every moment with a true love that is mine

 

A summer day, the sun is bright and you are here with me

nothing in the scene can show more beauty than I see

When I look into your eyes, reflecting skies above

and feel the happiness they bring by showing me your love

 

We were meant to be right here, wherever this may be

hand in hand in nature's home feeling oh so free

Or anywhere that we may roam, whatever day does start

for destiny is in control as you are in my heart

A sunny day, a convertible and thou...now that's the ticket. Your friend in words, Pete

[Jack...]

Pete, I always appreciate your kind words. Thanks for stopping by.

A ride in the sunshine with your soul mate - what could be better? A happy poem describing the experience, written by Jack! I could feel the road under my feet and the warmth of his hand in mine reading this. :)

Driving through the Poconos maybe...Thank you Rita, for joining me on this Sunday drive.

[Kelly Scheppers]

This is what memories are made of. Those long winding roads that take us nowhere, "reflecting skies above." Nothing like it, especially with autumn right around the corner!

You feel blessed, and it shows, Jack!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Kelly. I am blessed because I have good friends like you.

Excellent piece Jack, I enjoyed the journey.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Levi. It seems I've been traveling a lot lately...at least in my imagination. :)

I know what you mean. I just got back my touring the Cumberland Gap area over three states.

You make even a Sunday drive on a sunny day sound so utterly romantic Jack, a luverly sigh and a sweet smile sit together hand in hand on this page my dear friend.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my good friend. Your kind comments to me are like that sunny day drive through the countryside.

Majestic , romantic , descriptive and above all spirited...:)

Thanks so much Sami. I am happy you enjoyed this poem.

[Sami Khalil]

did. You are welcome...:)

This is so uplifting and full of high spirits! I enjoyed reading of your sunny day, my friend! One fix, first line of the last stanza... I think you mean to say 'may' rather than 'my' (I'd also make nature possessive in the next line... ) ok, grammar natzi is over ;)
Love the tone of the write, Jack :) very lovely!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my sweet friend. I have made those corrections...wrote this quickly this morning and I am happy you found those. As always I appreciate your visits and those beautiful green eyes peering in on my work.

Usually I send grammar stuff via PM, but I was on only for a few minutes and figured you wouldn't mind :) I'm cleaning my office for the hubby to take it over on Monday for work. Not fun! Chaos and clutter = genius, right? At least I'm going through the old manuscript I've been tossing around for a few years now... we'll see what progress I can handle on that subject now! :)

Hey, if you happen to find a zombie story laying around in the rubble, check it out, you might like it. :)

OMG - I forgot to send you a note when I read your story! I am now over protective of my cocker spaniel... And well, I will never look at certain 'expressions' the same again! ;-) chuckling, it is good - in a very disturbing way! Lol
