This Is The Day by Robert Wynne © 2003 This is the day we had looked forward to -- When the daily maelstrom of change and movement had settled back into simple routine and time no longer whipped past like a hurricane wind. This is the day we had looked forward to -- When mundane and ordinary cares could at last be set aside If only for a couple of days And we could retreat into the warmth of each other for a while. This is the day we had looked forward to -- When the distance between us was no longer A gaping, unbridgeable chasm And you were finally able to lie safe and quiet In my arms.
