Picnic at the Park

Background music of shriek-laughter-chatter

Maple umbrellas invite passer-by

The sky is like a giant blue platter

Serving up sunshine and soft, dreamy sigh

Time is a thing to be kindly forgotten

Spread out a quilt, picnic basket and book

Be a small part of this world full of children

‘Tommy, take turns now, and Susie, don’t push’

Bird-song and wind-song and brook-song, ah, beauty

Nature’s best minstrels perform tirelessly

Teasing our minds from time’s incessant duty

Wakening wonder where wishes would be

We are never too old to be young-ish

Let’s, you and I, linger until it is dark

For life is too short to be too old for picnics

Or peanut-butter sandwiches at the park

When I read this line ' Several weeks ago some of us met one of our blogging friends Rosella for a picnic in the park' found here, it immediately sparked a mood for a picnic in the park. 

Maybe tomorrow;-)?

Happy Saturday to you all!
