The Little Adventures

 

It isn’t the holidays or the usual things

that truly bring the smiles

and honestly warm my heart,

what gives me a glow

is from those little adventures,

every unexpected detour

into a place that brings happiness.

 

You never know

when that grocery store aisle

will yield some surprise,

the mail box holds

some truly amazing correspondence.

 

Each day has its own magic,

only a question of where it appears.

 

Nothing gives me greater pleasure

than the times I can see

that pure spellbound look

in my grandson’s eyes.

 

To see in that young innocence

a believe in angels and miracles,

just gives a special seasoning

unto life’s stew,

so what is otherwise bland

truly tastes so great.
