The Happy

No likes yet ♦

So this is how the happy feel
Silver lined days, foundations of steel
Collections to ponder, worries but small,
How would one ever have time for it all?

So this is how the happy live
Money to save, money to give
A love for the old, a hope for the new
Candour and kindness receive what is due

So this is what the happy do
Space to create, space to move through
Social dilemmas, commitments taken,
A lot to achieve and a dream to awaken

So this is what the happy think
A nod to you, for me a wink
The world’s a wonder, don’t you know?
People to see and places to go

Good one Russiandoll. Feel, live, do think.

Thanks for the comment Scratch :) trying to make sense of some new observations - partly about myself but mostly about some of the sights and sounds around my life at present.

Glad it's about you Russian - I wish it was about me.

and also a large part satirical and a smidge sarcastic.... ;) we've made a big move and I'm trying to work out where I fit (and don't fit) in the new surroundings. It's a year for growing wrinkles and laughter lines!
