Beautiful Day

"Beautiful Day"

By the world's standards, it's an ugly day.
It is gray, dark, rainy, with a chill in the air.
But, to me, today has been beautiful.
It began with the voice of the one I love.
We laughed and talked as the rain pattered on the roof.
His voice is like music, soothing my soul.
He took out his guitar, and played for me,
and my heart beat faster and filled with joy.
He laughs at his self-described lack of skill,
but, to me, it is the most beautiful sound.
To me, he sings like an angel and plays like Clapton.
I hear him with ears full of love.
So, the weatherman might disagree,
but I say, it's been a beautiful day!
