For Your Choice I Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

here's an orderless smiling list why I'm happy to exist the serenity of a baby's face in mother's arms, that grace a boy and his dog in fresh air playing without a care a boy and his dad play catch or watch a chicken hatch holding hands, first kisses, blue skies looking in your lover's eyes ripened peaches, other fruit my sweetie in her birthday suit things you would never expect to see a new friend who is as strange as me perhaps, a penguin or an otter in or out of water

Hi Andrea - thanks! Karen's contest was so popular, it filled up fast, and I was a bit late to get it in on time, so I decided to put it in Brian's.
