Things Worthwhile

The larks
Sing in the tree
And wake me with the morn
To start my day with their sweet song
A plea.
To find
The sweeter things
That make special each day
To help me keep a smile all day
Singing.

Spring blooms
Give me their scent
To breathe sweet atmosphere
And walk my steps with an upbeat
A blend
To taste
The finer things 
That bring the heart a rise
And make life so very worthwhile
Giving.

Your eyes
Their life a gift
That stays with me all day
Their speech filled love that need no say
A lift
To spring
My spirits up
When clouds darkens the day
And help me brave the storms unscathed
Living.

Nature's gifts always add something special to my day, Caroline. But, oh, to find that fella whose eyes are filled with love. That's the eternal quest, isn't it? What a beautiful, inspirational poem! Love, Carolyn
