What a beautiful day
unencumbered by seeking money
woke up to the smell of coffee
toast, peanut butter, and honey
Stroked the cat watched her stretch
felt her appreciation
I gave more she returned more
we should practice that nation to nation
New hours await me
devoid of prearrangement
full of space for me to fill
with happiness or estrangement
You may believe or not believe
it may seem oddly funny
but stroking the cat starts a perfect day
of toast, peanut butter, and honey
