the happy things

The sweet perfume that comes from a rose The feel of a snowflake that lands on your nose The countryside smell of freshly cut hay The protective arms of a mother that sends your fears away The stars in the sky you just cannot reach The sand between your toes as you walk on the beach The warm embrace of two lovers in the dark The cold bracing wind as you walk in through the park The things that make us happy might the small things we do The small happy things are a gift for all of us for me and for you
