What Makes Me Smile?

A ray of sun warming me in autumn

A well written line in a book

A clever clue in a crossword

A delectable bite of a dessert

A seasonal sip of eggnog

A chance to prop up my feet

The smell of fresh mown grass

Lending a stranger a helping hand

Reaching the spot of that itch

A well told joke

A sky full of kites

The first lick of a lollipop

An unexpected musical moment

Gazing at the stars on a clear night

When the radio dies during the opera

A puppy tumbling over its own paws

Sleeping under a love made quilt

Picking the first raspberry

A breeze on my face while sailing

A sip of sweet tea

Safe from the rain under an umbrella

Getting to use the word vessel

Anything done on or in the water

Watching my brother cringe when he hears a xylophone

Painting my living room butter yellow

All the animals in the zoo.

All those things, plus:

Seeing people helping each other in "random acts of kindness." (If you don't know what that means, check out Kris Kristofferson's song "Here Comes That Rainbow Again.")

A child's first drawing.

Seeing an old friend again for the first time in years.

Wiener Schnitzel.

Knowing that people love me, even when they're not always showing it.

Wow....that's an awesome song!! Never heard it before.

The smile my wife gets when I look in her eyes and say....you're so pretty

Seeing my grandchildren

Seeing my grandchildren smile

Seeing others smile

Making others smile

My kids

My dogs

Freshly cut grass

The smell of a campfire in the distance

My sisters laugh

My car

Magic tricks

Wonder of exploring outside

I wrote it as a poem during a writers group zoom meeting in about 25 minutes. Had no tune in mind. In fact no musical talent. Thanks for coming up with your own thoughts.
