WITH YOU THE WORLD'S OKAY

 

With You, the World’s Okay

Stuck in traffic on a sweltering day,

With the car’s AC deciding to betray,

I don’t mind the heat, the horns’ loud bray,

With you beside me, it’s a small dismay.  

At a concert where the band’s offbeat,

And the singer’s voice is far from sweet,

I don’t mind the noise, the discordant feat,

Your laughter’s the rhythm that can’t be beat.  

Camping in the rain, with tents all soaked,

Fire won’t light, and the weather’s provoked,

I don’t mind the chill, the plans that choked,

With you, every moment’s a story evoked.  

Through spilled coffee or a stubbed toe,

Life’s little woes that come and go,

I don’t mind the bumps, the ebb and flow,

With you, my love, I bask in the glow.  

So here’s to us, to love’s embrace,

In every challenge, in every space,

With you, my dear, in every case,

The world is a brighter, happier place.
