then packed our bags, and hit the ground
we walked downtown without much fuss,
we'd set out to catch the bus!
The bus came by...eventually,
we used our coins to pay the fee
we asked the driver happily
if we were on bus 43.
"Oh yes", he said and smiled at us, "You both are on the perfect bus!"
"I can take you anywhere,
there! or there! or everywhere!"
I smiled at him and shook his hand
"Could you take us now to Disneyland?"
He smiled back and smiled true
"Sit right down, I'll see you through!"
We took a seat and made our way
aboard our bus, and straight away,
we found ourselves a world away
ready for a perfect day.
We walked and talked of many things
of ghosts and cars and battle scenes
we traveled down a river mild
we rafted down a river wild
We ventured through a haunted house
we waved and laughed at Mickey Mouse
We saw some hats with great big ears
We took a cruise with bucaneers.
I think we covered Disneyland
and all the while he held my hand.
We headed home when day was done,
I held him close
"I love you, son."
"I love you too!", he hugged me tight,
the world was sweet, the world was right.
We're home again, he's fast asleep
And soon I will be counting sheep,
Before I do, I had to say
I've never had a better day.
I love you Joshua. Thank you for spending your day with me.
