On Such a Lovely Day
The fountain in the park
Provides a graceful spray
For watching and for listening
On such a lovely day.
The baby on my lap,
As mesmerized as I,
Reveals primordial human genes
As waters pacify.
And both of us, entranced,
Show age can’t take away
The ties by which we all are bound
On such a lovely day.
And one day on her lap
May sit a little one;
Through all the generations, love
Like water, downhill runs.
Scott L. Barton
