 Enjoy Small Pleasures

 
The morning sun creeping over the land
Warming the flowers as they wash the
Dew from their sleepy faces
 
Look at the rolling hills covered in green
And beautiful heather gracefully swaying
To and fro with the soft wind.
 
Birds in the trees of all colors sing softly
In the morning to wake us up with their
Beautiful songs.
 
Pick a bouquet of wild flowers and take
Them too someone you love and watch
As their face lights up with happiness.
 
Hug your family and tell them you love them
And see the magic that comes out in each and
Everyone as they hug back. 
 
Call a friend and tell them how much you enjoy
Being with them and make a date to go out
For lunch.
 
Send a card to a sick person you know to remind
Them how much you care.  We all need that once 
In awhile.
 
These are all small things that you can enjoy by yourself
And with others that you love. Don’t ever be afraid to say 
I love you.  Some of us need that assurance once in awhile.

Your words warmed my heart this morning...
And the lines below that Edward has quoted are ones my Dad used to sing of his Mum Kate who died when he was a year old...
Yes the opportunities are there for us each day to bring that special feeling alive for family and friends...even a smile to a stranger can be valuable...
I love the picture too, and spotted the little fairy spreading her magic...
Sending Love,
Diana...

It' hard not to think of this beautiful song when I read
your poetry:

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again!

You do have the right perspective, Kathy. This old world would be so much better, and so much safer if everyone would heed the words of this poem.
