Things That Make Me Smile
THINGS THAT MAKE ME SMILE
Cats sitting on a fence-posts with curled-up tail wrapped around neatly.
Penguins waddling off-balance, out of their element completely.
Babies snuggled up with only nose showing in a crib so small,
With their tiny miraculous fingers all gripped into a roll.
Children the world over, just being children,
Who smile and climb, and laugh, and run.
Ships of all kinds, best seen in the US Navy.
Steamed kasha fried up with rich brown gravy. *
Heroes gaining true love with some impossible feat.
Close multi- voice harmony with a Beach Boys beat.
Maps , especially big ones, of almost any place.
My wife coming towards me any time, her smiling face.

*kasha is a Russian dish made with buckwheat, mmmmmm
