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
