Warmth

by Barbara Lynn Terry

I don't like to talk about things that are dark

I don't like to talk about things that are morbid

and I don't like living in dank, smelly places.

I love gaeity, fun, happiness, love and acceptance.

I love colors that are vibrant, pretty, like the rainbow

or the Northern Lights in the land of the midnight sun.

I love to see the colors in nature change with the seasons.

I love to hear the laughter of children playing.

I love the songs that the birds sing.

I love watching all the animals scurry, trot, or gallop along.

I love the azure blue of the summer sky.

I love how the pool is cold at first but warms to my body.

I love all the things that peace can bring. I love every man

as though he were my brother and ever woman as though

she were my sister.

I love the warmth of the sun, I love the warmth of a fireplace.

I love the warmth you get from a meaningful hug

and I love the warmth of a genuine smile.

I love for I have a warm heart.
