Perfect Day

Perfect Day
4/21/13

It was the perfect day today,
but not because it was sunny
or because we had no plans
and rested and did nothing.

We did laundry, ate leftovers;
nothing luxurious did occur.
But in my mind, it was perfect,
and my aching heart was stirred.

We laughed, we dreamed,
we may have even cried.
It was so perfect, my soul once more
began to feel alive.

We didn't win the war;
there's still so much pain to go through,
but today was a perfect day
because I spent the day with you.
