Things That Make Me Happy
A spontaneous hug from my son
without having to ask for one.
Getting calls from my family and friends
when it’s not my birthday.
Finding a long lost thing unexpectedly
after having given up the forage
Knowing that I am in someone’s prayers
and thoughts long after I met them
Waking up sleepy-eyed and dazed on a weekend
and realizing I can sleep in.
Fried goodies with a hot cup of tea
while watching the rain
Watching the bright sun high above the clouds in a flight
when it’s grey and overcast on the ground.
Seeing an old friend pop up on Facebook
or write a note on WhatsApp
The tingling on my feet when sand
crawls out from under with the wave
Watching the yellow and orange hues of sunset
change to purple and vermilion in no time
A baby’s hand clutching my finger tight
threatening never to let go
My house plants growing a fresh light green leaf
spreading life and hope in my house
Leaning on hubby’s welcoming shoulder when watching a movie
with his arm around to warm my cold shoulder
The house smelling of food he cooked
when I return home from work.
Listening to my favorite music withiout interruption
full blast on the speakers
Having a good book
waiting for me at my bedside at night.
Getting placed by adorable judges
in contests I enter hurriedly on PoetrySoup
