Did you ever go fishing with a friend
Only to fish all the day long to no end

You talked very little and watch the turtles 
Gazing at the sky, watching the clouds travel in circles 

Such a relaxing time with no cares or woes 
Feeling the soft wind on our cheeks as it blows

Not a care in the world. Our minds drifting away
As if we were in another land far away

After  hours of fishing, came the end of the day
Only realizing it was time to go home and play
