Beautiful Day

I once fell prey to circumstance Took away all of my romance I bounced around from girl to girl Learned every oyster has a pearl Sometimes within the things I feel My broken heart had lost its will Lost in the game I had to play I rode the “Top,” and spun away Freedom was no more than a whim My life was looking rather grim Many lovers but had no love I had no one to hold above Many years since I had been free My monkey had its hooks in me Then came the day I met my wife She brought romance into my life She helped me up then helped me see The beauty of the soul in me We have faced so many trials Together walked many miles We faced our demons, faced our ghost Scraped all the burnt up off our toast Whatever trials we must face It’s each other that we embrace For within our love we have found Nothing in life can break us down There is no storm that we can’t weather As long as we are together Lord this poem to you I pray Thanking you for another day Another day that’s full of love It is my wife I hold above Trials come and then trials go Together we reap what we sow We turn trials into blessings As we face what needs addressing We live a very simple life Together as husband and wife Within our love it’s clear to see Everything is as it should be I just have one thing left to say Is this not a beautiful day
