Joy of Life

Three dog pals on summer dog walk with author

The joy of life is every day
It's little things and big
It's sunny days, it's rainy days
It's picnics with the kids

The trick to loving life, we know
Is looking for the good
In every situation find
The blessings that we should

Cancelled dates, give us more time
For thought and contemplation
For sending thoughts of love and peace
Across this whole, great, nation

Spilt milk gives us good reason
To wash the kitchen floor
Empty cake tins mean time spent
Enjoying baking more

Rainy days mean reading books
Calls made and letters sent
Sunny days mean lunches out
And time with good friends spent

Joy is there for us to find
In almost every day
Search for it and you will find
You're glad you think this way

Joy of life is not reserved
For optimists like me
It's yours to have, so take the time
Enjoy your life, it's free!
