Little things make Me happy: Loaf of breadBright flowersSimple melodiesButterfliesA kind wordBreeze on a hot dayBirdsong Crickets chirpingHarmonySliced tomatoesCorn on the cobFriend returning After a journey.

Worn and weary,Like me sometimes.Tired, rough? Yes.Used up? No!Still strong underneathPale, scratchedOld handrailProtect, stand guardDon't be weary inYour well-doing.

Sun straight overheadI shield my eyesLook for shadeBut the roses' scent calls meI find pink, white, rosePinwheels twirlingIn children's handsAt a May Day Picnic.
