A Wonderful Life

Team Renfield

Each morning I rise
And walk towards the sun
Shining on my small flock

Each greets me with a voice unique
Seeking my presence as I seek theirs
Atlas stands his paws around my neck
Kissing my cheek with his tongue

Cats follow and mew
Until I stop and give them a pet
Rabbits all hop to the hutch door
Wiskers twitching and curious

These are my morning joys
Followed by my daily chores
Then to work I travel
Were I sew and sew

Not really a burden
Although sometimes real slow
Then home in the evenings
With chores under setting sun

More animal calls and kisses
As I make a hay run
Inside I sit at my wheel spinning
As I dream and contemplate

Life's many wonders and joys
Terrors and sorrows
Ups and downs
Until I have to get up and jot it all down

Finally before bedfall I sit knitting and quiet
Until at last my mind is now still
Then as my head touches pillow and my eyes shut so tight
Dreams fill my head and warm the cold night

reminds me of a line from a poem by a famous poet I once read (I am ashamed to say I do not remember the name of the poem and the poet .)
It goes something like :

.....ultimately glad to find , the pleasure in little things...

Loved this, great work.

This is very nice. I love a poet who has an eye for the simple, yet wonderful things in life. You have this vision and you are able to convey it in a most easy and comfortable style.

(spelling) "burden"... I enjoyed this write very much...it reflects that happiness does not come from having all that one desires but from being thankful and appreciative for everything one has. There is certainly much joy to be had from the company of animals and providing for their care. It sounds like a day well spent to me. ;o)

Life is what we make of it, when we appreciate what we have then happiness is undeniable... I love this, so uplifting and positive.
