I walked out into the
Beautiful sunshiny day
Heading to the park
Just a few blocks away
Heard the rockabilly music
From the concert there
A sure sign that summer
Soon will be here

Entered the beautiful park
Filled with varied humanity
Baseball section humming
Further on kids section
swings slides, picnic tables
Children of all ages running
Expending all their energy
Playing tag ,screaming with glee
Having fun in the place for it
As aroma's rise from barbecue pits

Crossing the bridge to the
More quiet section by the stream
Young couple kissing under an oak tree
So many beautiful flowers and shrubs
I 'm able to hear the band "Bugaloosa"
They have teens and adults
Moving and dancing in what looks
Like one big wave of movement
So great when families can get together
To enjoy  sunday in the park

I forget all horrid news of the day
All the politics, war, and dastardly deeds
The negativity that overwhelms our senses
As I watch the ducks dive for fish
See and hear birds land with a swish
For drinks or food scraps that we litter
Squirrels scamper past me unafraid
The parks activities give me a sense of peace
We should  enjoy each day as best we can
Remembering Creator has a master plan
