Sweet Contentment
I find that as the years roll by,
the little things give me a high.
A phone call from my sweet granddaughter,
will keep me smiling for hours after.
My cleaning lady came today,
dusted and scrubbed all dirt away.
With my little habitat all shining,
you certainly won’t catch me whining.
While she was cleaning I went out
in my little grandma run about.
I went to the store to buy some toys
for some needy little girls and boys.
It makes me happy to think they
will have a joyous Christmas Day.
My box will go on the big church pile.
We’re trying to make the whole world smile.
One of my poems has made top ten.
What fun, I think I’ll try again.
I wish my mom had been given a chance
to write a poem that could reach to France.
I awoke this morning without pain.
The bright sunshine has chased the rain.
I realize as my two cats play,
I’ve had a very pleasant day.
