When I heard the sound of the siren,
And listened as it faded into the distance,
I knew then . . . this could be a good day!
When I read the entire obituary column,
And could not find my name listed in it,
I knew then . . . this could be a good day!
When I answered the call from the IRS,
And they informed me of a coming refund,
I knew then . . . this could be a good day!
When I opened the sweet card from you
And read, “Wishing you a Happy Birthday,”
I knew then . . . I was going to have a great day!
