Floating gently on a cloud....

Gifts

Sunny days and tranquil nights,
Walks in the woods or by the sea.
A hug from a friend, laughing out loud,
Life's gifts are in simplicity.

They may not be gaily wrapped;
To be sure at time they may seem plain.
Their beauty is in how they fill our hearts,
As lakes are filled with rain.

Next time your soul grows wings,
Next time your entire being sings;
Know that you've been blessed freely,
With life's gifts of such pure simplicity!

Nicely done.  I like your rhymes much.  You are a happy person, it seems.  Keep at this.


Your first line reminded me of something I wrote a way's back:

The days I hate pass quickly enough
for the days I love,
to drift by...
