Pastel colors, like an artist's palette,
in the early morning sky,
The cheerful song of mockingbirds,
as they spread their wings to fly.

The rippling flow of mountain streams,
from melting high Sierra snow,
Sharing whispered words of love,
On a beach where tradewinds blow.

The first taste of creamy ice cream,
On a blistering summer day,
Someone dear who offers comfort,
To wipe the tears away.

Spring rains that lightly fall,
And make us dance about in glee,
A real letter in the mailbox,
Sent from you to me.

A single perfect rose,
A high school marching band,
A baby's gurgling laugh,
These all are simply grand!
