Simple things bring joy to my life. |
Happy Am I Happy am I lying on earth’s green carpet with the warmth of the morning sun on my face, amused at fluffy white clouds drifting aimlessly across a crystal blue sky. I can’t help but smile, because happy am I on a clear sunny day. Happy am I listening to Kayla sing. Her little face radiating the joy of her song. Head bobbing to the tune she’s remembering while I delight in every tiny note and incomprehensible word of a 2-year-old’s song. I can’t help but smile, because happy am I when Kayla sings. Happy am I when I have my husband all to myself. Just he and I teasing and flirting, playing and laughing together, just chilling in each other’s arms. Lying on his chest as he caresses my back. I can’t help but smile, because happy am I when he’s all mine. Happy am I walking on the green levee, the Mississippi lazily rolling by. My ears filled with the jazzy sounds of Dave Bruback’s “Take Another Five”. A tug boat captain pushing his load honking for the bridge operator to stop traffic. I can’t help but smile, because happy am I taking five on the levee. ©LexaDaily2009 (completed 03/11/04) |
