Sunday is as Sunday does
A beautiful gift from God above
Placid waters and winter’s wheaty grass
Wondering if the attempt of warmth will last
Sunday is at it rests upon wooden bench
While rejuvenation seeks to be quenched
Take in the view, smell coming of spring
Listen to geese upon their honking wing
Sunday is as one day in time
It’s cool, calm energy feels sublime
A walk along it’s graceful edge
Removes the cobwebs from life’s head
Sunday is as the beginning of a week
Created for all whether courageous or meek
It ingests all that history has been
Before manic Monday begins again
Sunday is as long as it’s here
The solemn end of it rightly near
Praise Him for creation’s needed rest
With promise that this week shall be its best

I hope your week is bery blessed and beautiful Mary
Same to you, Cheryl. We’re expecting snow tomorrow and Tuesday, so today has been a good day for sun and rejuvenation. π
Nice post. I want to be on that bench, watching the water, and listening to geese passing by.

I know, Allan. It’s a great place to sit and do nothing except breathe.
Your snow tomorrow and Tuesday translates into snow for us on Wednesday and Thursday.
In the meantime, this beautiful sunny weather has been a promise of spring ahead π
Did you take your bike out?
No bike yet. I’ve been taking walks, trying to test out my foot (it’s getting better) because I want to be able to go for my lunchtime walks. I’m hoping to be on the bike trail later this month or early April, if we get some nice weather.
Me too. I’ve been tempted a few times, but decided the bike cleaning I would have to do afterwards would not be worth the effort π
What a nice tribute to this initial day. I would love to be sitting on a bench near a river on a sunny day.
There will be more days like this, Dan. Probably better ones for sitting on that bench. You can’t tell by the photos, but the “river” empties out into Lake Winnebago. I used to live across from this park when I was married, but appreciate it more now that I don’t drive by it every day.
I think I can understand that.
That was LOVELY! Your gratitude shines like the sun!
It won’t last here, so I can’t see it’ll last there — but a reprieve is always welcome. I am extremely grateful for the sun lately. How much more energy I have when the sun is up longer and longer! It was in the high 40s today, and sunny as can be, so I took some kids to the zoo. It was wonderful. Just wonderful. And home to grill out and chill out. What a great day.
You’re right about manic Monday, of course. A long week looms. They say all weeks are the same length, but after weekends like this, well…
I wish you a good one — speedy and productive with no kinks π
Thanks Joey! You are right…the sun and warmth and longer days revives my spirit and makes me feel like I can stay up past 9:00 pm (gramma bunny here). It’s time to get out of hibernation!
Have a great week!
Prelude of days to come-how lovely!
Beautiful. Simply beautiful … both the poem and the photographs.
I could happily lay down and listen to the water, chattering away to itself. Blisssssss.
Sending love, Mary ~ Cobs. xxx
Thank you Cobs. π
I’m glad I was able to enjoy the park and the view before tonight’s 7 inches of snow arrives. Is it spring yet?
I wish. I really, really wish. [sigh]
Lovely! π
Thanks Simon!
Youβre welcome
