A Wonderous Day<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sun’s rays force squinting eyes<\/p>\n
Grass curls between tiny toes<\/p>\n
Laughter swirling in air swept<\/p>\n
by each cool breeze<\/p>\n
Bubbling waters in the pond<\/p>\n
dug by able hands<\/p>\n
for fish and shelled creatures<\/p>\n
to lay and unwind<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tingling hands<\/p>\n
A shift in the air<\/p>\n
Heads turning in unison<\/p>\n
to the house just across the yard<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rushing past familiar beauty<\/p>\n
towards an enthralling mystery<\/p>\n
behind four walls<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once inside<\/p>\n
figures crowded round<\/p>\n
blocking view<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some gasp or\u00a0shriek of glee<\/p>\n
at a sight to behold<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the center of the circle<\/p>\n
comes barking<\/p>\n
Pushing past<\/p>\n
there it is<\/p>\n
the dog you will know<\/p>\n
for years to come<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It will touch your life<\/p>\n
in a way only it could<\/p>\n
But for now,<\/p>\n
you gaze in its eyes<\/p>\n
and marvel over this wonderous surprise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
