A perfect day

edited September 2008 in - Reading
There seems to be so many people who need love, thoughts and prayers right now...just thought I would post this

There's a few different ways that the words can be taken I think, depending on the readers situation.

A PERFECT DAY (1909)
Words and Music by Carrie Jacobs-Bond (1862-1946)


When you come to the end of a perfect day,
And you sit alone with your thought,
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay,
For the joy that the day has brought,
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to a tired heart,
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray,
And the dear hearts have to part?
Well, this is the end of a perfect day,
Near the end of a journey, too,
But it leaves a thought that is big and strong,
With a wish that is kind and true.
For mem'ry has painted this perfect day
With colours that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day,
The soul of a friend we've made.
