Thank you for walking

Thank you for spending one day,

with a stranger


Good morning. Hello! Choose a color, carnation

we'll walk along.


Down round the pond, up the hill bricks and steeples

it's not all gone... I recall


Thank you for walking

Thank you for spending one day,

with a stranger


Thank you for talking

and showing the way to a stranger


Wining and dining (what a September)

from bags by the river ( I should've worn a sweater)

a sun, sail, song (it's cooler up here)


We sat on a wall (oh my)

rest our feet (just a little longer)

touch our noses


Then slow poke on... oh, I recall


One red carnation

the color for April

and apples

and wine


I suppose it was white... but I needed the rhyme.


As I packed up to leave oh, I noticed the fountain,

the statue's hand.


There in her bronzed, moistened, palm

red carnation

Without you there... I recall
