Living the Dream

Things that make me happy are never far away. My garden is just outside my door, I am in it everyday. My three beautiful daughters, although at work or study, come home to me regularly, we are the best of buddies. Music I have in my soul, so I carry it where I go. My feet are well attached, for dancing fast or slow. I'm happy at my work, each week I spend three days. Looking after mums and babes, can't believe that I get paid. My little cottage makes me happy, it is so cosy here. My little car outside the door also brings me cheer. Gosh, I'm so happy, I never knew how much. One last thing.. wining contests, also helps a bunch.

Thank you Greg. Unhappily, I am uninspired this past while. I know not to worry, happily.

Your poem is wonderful - I wish you had caught that typo on the bottom line for your all important "WINNING" word… before I ranked the poems.

One of the lovely thing about Poetrysoup is how gracious everyone is in defeat Connie. The losers often congratulate the winners. Yet another reason to be happy here.

Perhaps this is why the chase has lost it's appeal??
