My Delight

My Delight A child's first smile, a walk in a park Cool water on a summers day A song birds flight, a tasty bite Good friends that surround me These are the things that delight me A cozy fire on a winters night Holding hands, a lovers kiss Food on the table, the chicken soup you're making A well run race, a blistering pace These are the things that delight me A dog on a beach, a tasty peach Good rain, no pain, an on time train A strangers smile, a flower bright A sail boat, a coke float, a well told joke These are the things that delight me A chance meeting, old friend greeting, however fleeting Thunderstorms at night, hard rain on a tin roof Warm bed, hot coco, a book thats read These are the things that delight me A happy dog, a small green frog Fresh bread, butter thats melting The smell of rain on an African plain A mountain spring, a bird that sings These are the things that delight me
