The wind is blowing,
the sun is shining bright.

I can walk all day,
and then all night.

Give me a simple flower,
just picked from a field.

A huge bright smile,
is what it will yield.

Take me out in the rain,
and let me just be silly.

I will be right at home,
I mean this, really.

Barefoot in the yard,
or on a country dirt road.

Listen to the birds,
or maybe just a big toad.

I find all my beauty,
in such small, small things.

This is what makes,
my Southern Heart Sing.

It's nice being that simply southern. I have a friend who calls me Southern Belle, but maybe that's because I live in Australia which is really further south than anyone ever wants to go.

This is a jofully soft poem that resonates with me.

a good commitee can decimate communication.

Thank you all for your comments.  I have been rich, poor and middle class and have learned that if you are not happy in your soul then nothing can make you happy.  Took me a long time to learn this, but it is the truth.  Happiness comes from within.
