I want to write something happy
Something that will be more reflecting of me
A poem that will contribute cheer to the collective
One that brings joy while the words live
It is not hard to think of joyful things each day
Drew and Hannah's smiling faces are the brightest ray
Sunshine, rainbows, beautiful music, a cool breeze
The simplest pleasures which always please
A delicious meal, triple chocolate dessert
Cool cars, waterfalls, buying a new shirt
Catching the eye of that special person
An illness that gets better and doesn't worsen
Still what are the things that not all get
Those things we take for granted or forget
The friendly smile of a kind passerby
A nice 'how are you' a really good cry
The concern of a loved one when you're at your wits end
The devotion and love given freely by a friend
A hug when you're needy and don't even know it
A funny puppy who makes you laugh when you're having a fit
The smile of a baby or a buy one get one free
When others listen and have sympathy
Compassion and charity with no audience
A beautiful flower and it's lovely fragrance
The list is long and could reach another galaxy
These are the things that keep our souls free
