happy days

bright eyes and

sun rays, lighting up the world.

there are not enough days like this.

fields full of flowers,

and smiles from strangers,

the birds eloquently crafting melodies.

not enough days

like this.

cotton clouds and quiet mouths

no more hateful chatter 

that breaks the bones of those who matter.

not enough days, not nearly enough days like this.

a little kindness.

a warm feeling.

happy days.
