What Makes Me Smile

Seeing the beauty of the morning sunrise,
then seeing the colorful sunset at the end of my day.

Making someone laugh when I go shopping,
seeing their face go from dull to lighting up.

Nothing is better than a new puppy,
all soft and furry with a kiss from a tiny tongue.

A child's face in wonder,
giving them a double ice cream cone.

Some writers here,
with their funny wit and humor.
