everyone said it better

under a cotton blue sky filled with cherubim clouds

i smiled all day long

singing joyfully down streets of green

the sweet summer wind caressed the blonde strands of my hair

i couldn't have asked for more

in clearer minds i see you now

and this clarity nearly robs my breath

stars that had dimmed in a bruised night's sky 

had clouded definition i knew existed

through others words and melodies so sweet

i thought i could say it to you

i've thought of a thousand things to say

but everyone said it better

so know that in parts

however small, however big

that today i was happy

and to thank you seems too much

but know that this is true
