I feel happy today
so easy I guess ,it is to say. Happiness is just a state of mind. yet for some, very hard to find. What of tomorrow you ask? well, that is too hard a task. What of the next day, that too I am not quite au-fait. What is happiness you ask? well that is quite a rewarding task. Well ,one should give it a try you say, ok, let's start with today. For me it is 5 AM to rise, with a sad face you might surmise. No ! not me, 5 is the best part of any day, that's when sunny ,not dismal grey. I dream a dream of work to do, for all of this day my thoughts now accrue. I grow violets, now my face expects, Beautiful colours for me to inspect. With these happy thoughts my day begins, shower shave and ? Imaginations. Now, poetic thoughts enter my inner muse, start positive never think of don'ts and do's. Simple things make for happy thoughts, they are the things that cannot be bought. A cup of tea and honey on toast, a pleasure that always gives the most. Working with beautiful blooms, Shining their light to fill the room. My thoughts slip down to a lower gear, Of my sculptures and poems I hold so dear. Oh my, how happy can one person be, other thoughts I can now clearly see. My Bonny Wife and my daughter too, about all things they are and what they do. They make me so happy and VERY proud, I DO, I DO, I SHOUT THIS ALOUD. Happiness you see is there for you, all around, Relax, see the Wee Wee things which are abound. The day for me does not end, when I go to bed, my happy brain now requires to be fed. For when I lay my head down to sleep, all my days happiness ,my dreams will keep. It's now 5 AM again and a new happiness to be gained, Violets, blooms, poems, my loves all start again. You see happiness starts with a frame of mind, simplicity , your loves and all things kind. The Auld Yin. |
