All It Takes Is a Toddler and a Puppy
The toddler turns his face and grins
Bouncing along with a bumpity bump bump
The rest of the room stops to watch
Everyone feeling uplifted and happy
He is lying on his mommy now,
Flat out, with arms around her
Snuggling into her neck
We feel his warmth across the room
All we need now is a puppy someone says
One comes running, demanding to be petted.
It is a golden retriever, showing us that life is good
Reminding us that it is the small things that matter
We leave the party feeling lighter and younger.
Best party in a long time, my partner says.
I concur, smiling as I think of the toddler and the puppy.
Life is terrific. The key is to look for its greatness.
