the sun teased leafless branches
warming the buds in winters sleep
it was a day when life felt good
just sitting in the sun..feeling it deep

the cats stretched out on the steps
the old dogs napped in the sun
it was a day when life felt good
like ya hoped it would never be done

twas a respite from the slate gray
of winters overcast sky
it was a day when life felt good
a day... when eagles would fly
