The clunk of the post as it drops through the door
The laugh of a friend who has humour like yours
The buzz from a swim in a freezing cold lake
The birdsong and sunlight that nudge you awake
The ‘pop’ of a lid as it finally unscrews
The smile on their face when they hear your good news
The squelch of the pasta when mixing with sauce
The clippety-clop of the hooves of the horse
The sink and the splash as you jump in a puddle
The mice that stay warm in a tight little huddle
The afternoon open with time to explore
The ones on the boat who wave back to the shore
The warmth of the sand as it wraps round your toes
The carpet of moss and the scent of a rose
The smell of a book as you flick through its pages
The orchid’s regrowth after ages and ages
The waking refreshed from a long night of rest
The present from loved ones who know you the best
The shade of the tree where I sit for a while
Reflecting on small things that bring me a smile
