Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

So Many Sweet Things

Teapots that whistle on chilled Winter morns
                               Calling the day to begin as it scorns
Wake up you sleepy head, make room for love
                        Walking to work as the sun shines above

Thinking of happy and thinking of you
                         I think I’ll paint it and skies will be blue 
Tipping my hat to the songbird that sings
                   Feeling so blessed for so many sweet things

Hot dogs with mustard and friends who stand by
                     Watching new parents with babies that cry
Stoplights that muster the traffic that flows
                        Bakeries that summon to follow my nose

Dinners with Mama, then home to my pet
                         Help me remember and never forget
Life is a blessing though sometimes a pain
                      Just like a flower, we sometimes need rain

Cuddles and kisses and good books to read
                Pillows for dreaming, ideas that are freed
Grateful for love and the goodness it brings
                   Feeling so blessed for so many sweet things
