Le Voyage Magnifique

Wilderness Wonderland

We dance amongst the fragrant roses there--
the rabbit, squirrel, faithful dog, and I--
cavorting in God’s garden ’neath blue sky.
My friends and I enjoy our pied-a-terre
away from the clamorous thoroughfare.
A meadowlark serenades from nearby.
It’s a wonderful life, I can’t deny--
even better than that of a billionaire.
A robin joins in lilting harmony.
We’re blessed to spend our time where lilacs sway
in gentle summer breezes all the day,
beside a mountain stream gurgling with glee.

Our little soiree is a splendid way
to sooth away the cares of yesterday.
