Best Happinesswork Poems
Rise before the rooster that is caged in neighbor’s yard.
Hitting my knees before I open my eyes I offer up a dream prayer
of thanksgiving.
Bump my knee hard against desk as I go into bathroom
and just smile.
Teeth exposed I begin brushing them with white mint paste.
Fully wash sleep from eyes and begin collecting thoughts.
Put on running shoes and wrist watch and out the door I go.
Return in hour and watch a new sunrise breathe light onto a new Earth.
Reach for matchsticks and cigarettes.
After match is lit I smile and let cigarette fall from lips while I watch the short life
of the new energy just born, bloom, and fade away.
Shower and dress and nothing extra.
Until I reach breakfast table with food for thought and food for body.
Given thanks I proceed out the door off to work.
Greeting everyone with a smile for I know they may have stubbed a
toe or bumped a knee, too.
And I work hard as I can until it is time for lunch break.
Having had breakfast but not wanting to break my fast I go to the upper room and
only have food for the soul, food which lasts.
Return to work and work with joy in my heart and a smile on my face.
Check date and time and dash off to school.
Watch as Sun begins his peek-a-boo game.
After class walk to library to continue studies.
Return home with head lights on and a thankful mind and thankful face on.
After a delicious dinner with maybe some dessert or better yet a good
book I relax for an hour.
Then I undress and shower.
Hit my knees before jumping into bed.
Begin remembering all things I did and said.
And a smile opens on my lips as my eyes begin to close and I am
taken up rapturously in pure perfect ecstasy.
A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS
Families should be together on Xmas day
Some kids’ folks are wealthy
They work abroad, but they never
Fail to come at Xmas for a whole week and see the kids
Their house is specially decorated for homecoming
Like a huge icing-covered cake
A professional Santa is hired, (electronic sleighbells,)
To perform ho-ho-hos and give out toys
At the big party
It is excellent to see.
Some kids’ folks are ordinary
They work in the local steel plant
Their houses have no special icing
To show it’s Xmas, no circus tricks
The sleighbells are done by dad
Amusing the kids, jangling keys on a shoestring
Mum gives her attention as they sing and play
And joke and do yard-work together every day
Xmas is not special, it is every day for them.
