A GORGEOUS DAY, by                    
First Line: You and I planned a gorgeous day
Last Line: But in simply being together!
Subject(s): Rain; Togetherness


You and I planned a gorgeous day,
But it rained -- do you remember?
And the wind blew chill and the clouds hung gray,
As they will in late November;

So we merely went for a walk, instead,
While the gale rose high and higher,
Then home, with our cheeks and noses red,
To talk and dream by the fire.

But we found we had a gorgeous day,
Perhaps because of the weather,
For the glory, it seemed, was not in play
But in simply being together!
