A Poem Of Happiness 

A smile from a stranger 

A compliment from a friend

A day full of blue skies and sunshine

I wish Summer would never end 

It's the little things that make me happy

They don't have to cost a lot

In fact most don't cost anything at all 

Cheap or expensive it matters not a jot

A picture to evoke memories

A mix tape or two 

A hark back to the good old days

They stop me from feeling blue 

Uninterrupted sleep, a breath of fresh air

Pressing the snooze button on the alarm

Just five more minutes, I swear

A full body massage, I feel the calm 

A bouquet of flowers hand delivered

The shrill of child's laughter, pure bliss

Completing the crossword, a lover's caress

Silence is golden but noise I would miss

These things make me happy 

But I can find plenty more

Sometimes time out and reflection

Will allow you to open that door
