Everyone needs, just once in awhile
to do something
special that makes them smile.
With each one it's different, that's easy to see,
what makes you happy,
is not the same for me.
For some, it is sipping expresso, sitting in a cafe,
greeting dear
friends, to hearten your day.
With others it may be a walk in the park,
or time with
a cherished one, just for a lark.
Old movies and books are such great escapes
from pressures
of life that take you away.
Music can enter the depths of your soul,
healing emotions
and making you whole.
And, then there's the ocean, watching the view
as the tides
ebb, thinking things through.
It could be lying in a meadow, clouds floating by
seeing pink
elephants, rainbows, or butterflies.
Special moments holding hands with someone you love,
or a spiritual experience
sent from angels above.
Here's something to ponder through and through
for no one can do
this for you, but you.
So many holidays, there are that we see,
but there
should be one that's "Be Kind To Me".
