Peccadilloes

At the edges of everyone’s being Are those perfect little surprises, Lying in wait to be discovered By unsuspecting enterprises. Perfectly delightful peccadilloes Sometimes wearing odd disguises Small things that make our day Shared with us like token prizes. Written November 4, 2022

These three lines by themselves are a great poem "At the edges of everyone’s being Are those perfect little surprises, Lying in wait to be discovered"

So nice! Love the message: Those little things surely make our day -- and our days bearable. Sweetness and Light, Gershon

I like surprises, but only the ones that make me smile. I don't live a Pollyanna life, so taking the bad with the good is something we must accept. Soup mail

In part, life is quirks; On the whole, it works. :-)

I'd have to agree, on the whole, it does.
