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

A lovey poem Paul. l cant do many of these things anymore as mostly bedbound due to my illness. only went out of house last yr 4 times and that was to hospital. But l have great joy looking at my garden as it faces my lovely scene of wildlife we get. We have a cheeky squirel that now has a mate and they play up and my large cherry tree. Then there is my moonlight garden, now waking up. So much joy if we just wait and look. J
