Wonderful Time

Come dance with me

whispered the wind chimes to the wind.

Let’s waltz together and let me feel

your breezy breath upon me.

Let’s rock the ages

to the rhythm of your growing excitement

Let’s dance for joy

and whirl and twirl and twist and tangle and have a wonderful time.

 

Come sing to me

begged the moon of the earth wolf.

Lament the lullabies of days long gone.

Bark and bay your sweet ballads

of love and life as I pull you

into my shimmering embrace.

Howl hymns of happiness and praise and God,

simple songs that serve us well

Let’s sing for joy because life is a wonderful time

 

Come play with me

pled the puppy to his siblings.

Wriggle and roll with me

in the sandbox of our youth.

Grunt and growl and wrestle with me.

Tug my tail and spin me round and round and

run with me until we are all done.

We always play together in joyful abandon

and we have a wonderful time.

 

Come laugh with me

called the clown to the crowd.

Laugh at all the jokes and

 Pranks and puns of wit and whimsy.

Laugh wrinkles are the best kind,

and laughter is the best medicine

as fun never hurt anyone,

or so I have been told.

Appreciate my antics and my wisecracks,

winking and wincing all the way.

Laughing for joy is a wonderful time.

 

Come cry with me

My country’s law urged its land.

Weep with me when we are weary

with worry, aching

to bring back times long past.

Wail with me about life’s injustices.  We must

work together to do what must be done.

Now let the tears wash away all fears as we wait

in joyful anticipation for

the return of the wonderful times.

.

Come be with me

every person asks the other.

Let’s dance and sing and play and laugh and cry.

Let’s share our joy because

together we will make a wonderful time.
