                     Good Day

                     it was a good day
                     today
                     little things were
                     accomplished
                     nothing spectacular
                     some winsome
                     thoughts
                     were thought
                     some little dreams
                     were dreamed
                     and daydreams began
                     with a spark of light
                     oh so bright

                     saw the red-tailed hawk
                     flying alongside
                     on its own ride
                     as the ground to the right
                     of the road
                     dipped low
                     the hawk still
                     flew high
                     in his ownership of sky

                     and what encompasses
                     a good day
                     a winsome delight
                     celebration of life
                     on a Sunday day
                     and a Sunday night

                     to have the ability
                     to do what one needs
                     to answer one's own question
                     to take up one's own heed
                     and to be able
                     to spend some time
                     on poetic read

                     it was a good day, today
                     I saw your name
                     on the hie
                     it was a good day,
                     today

                     'cause God let me
                     live a good sigh

                     it was a good day
                     in the by and bye…

Karilea, you have touched on truths here. There are so many things that happen and we don't even take the time to notice. Seeing the small things, recognizing the beauty and importance of all that happens around us, counting our blessings....this is what makes for a good day.

It is also a good day whenever there is Sunshine

This is beautiful..and proof that the things that make the day "good" are the simplest pleasures of all...learning to enjoy those things is a gift.  Thank you for sharing your good day with us...it was a pleasure

Kari, this is amazing, a truth that shines with pure clarity. Love this one Kari, I do and my favourite lines are

to have the ability
to do what one needs
to answers one's own question
to take up one's own heed
and to be able
to spend some time
on poetic read.

This is so wonderful Kari, you know I so rarely choose lines from any poems because I think they are so totally whole. These lines however jumped out at me, (almost grabbed me by the throat   in fact.) Brilliant, and  superb, love it.
Take care
