For This Old Man All of Humanity

For this old man  all of humanity

A good day is full – with the light from a sincere embrace,
a deep look into sparkling eyes, from a beautiful face, 
the electricity from a sweet, passionate kiss,
the essence from moments, never to miss.
 
These are but a few things that make, upon this earth,
One’s joy and a soul filled with merriment and mirth.
A good day is one, One, can give from the heart.
A good day is one, if this is where we’d start !
For some, they have made it an art, 
a beautiful painting to hang on everyone’s wall.
From those who can give their all.

A wonderful poem to be featured on the home page. Happiness is learning to be content with what we have and the simple things are more than enough.

Thank you Monterey, for your kind comment and you are truly right “ Happiness is learning to be content with what we have and the simple things are more than enough. ”, and in reading your “ GULF SHORE MOON ” I can see that you live by your words and it is nice to know that you, with “ At my bikini laying unnoticed on the shore ” and “ Home is a thousand light years away in the time before I threw my inhibitions away ” have become free, free as we all should be !!!
