I Don't Mind

I don’t mind the warm July air

When I’m with you in the summer time in Disney

I don’t mind the wait at the gate

When a magic ride will be the reward

I don’t mind late nights past bedtime

When music and colors explode in the sky

I don’t mind not eating for a while

When sumptuous dinners will satisfy

I don’t mind keeping the fast pace

When we will have gone to more places

I don’t mind napping once a day

When the heat is strong and the body wishes rest

I don’t mind the early start each day

When my head wants a pillow but my heart leaps with joy

I don’t mind being among the lucky

To sit up front for the Festival of The Lion King

When you get to be part of the show

To walk around the stage and shake the beads in a can

I don’t mind listening to It’s a Small World twice

When I see you are mesmerized by it all

I don’t mind having you choose me

To journey with you on many rides

As when we plan our vacation of the future

Or  shoot lasers as we spin our seats round and round

I don’t mind putting my arms around you

To let you know you have me when you’re scared

As when the thunder roars and the lightning strikes

Or when the rough roller coaster makes you cry

I don’t mind taking time off my busy schedule

When in the long run you matter much more

One day when you say, “Do you remember when…”

I’ll say yes, dear, as I treasure these July days always
