Analysis of The Parade

tyrone peck 1963 (Kerrville Tex)



Its a beautiful day,not a cloud in the sky.
We are gathered at the wayside,waiting for the parade to come by.
My wife and i,and our two year old son.
We were all sure,this would be great fun.
The clowns came by,juggling and singing.
I saw my sons face,shining and smiling.
Many floats came by,and many more were near.
This would have to be,my familys happiest time of year.
