Simplicity
Happiness is the smell of wet Earth after a rain
The feeling of cold fresh air blowing through my face
As droplets slip off of the damp leaves and gently slide onto my skin
Happiness is watching that first sprouts of spring,
Breathing a new life of color and beauty all around
Happiness is walking bare foot on the grass
Feeling the little tingles as the grass brushes under my feet
Happiness is waking to cheerful singing of birds
Watching the Sun rise in the red violet skies
Gazing at the white clouds as they gently pass by
As I lay on my bed, pondering the past and the future
Happiness is growing old surrounded by loved ones
As we witness the little miracles of nature everyday
Happiness is to watch my kids grow
Into thoughtful adults who care
There is much more to life than our ourselves and our needs
Only if we have the time to stop and look at the big picture
The happiness that nature brings
