Things That Make Me Happy

                             by Joan Clayton

A Beautiful Sunrise with colorful hues

A friendly letter that shares some news

The soft loving call of a dove to his mate

The beauty of red roses at my garden gate

A church bell's chime as I walk down the street

A smile and a handshake from those I meet

The lovely soft tough of a baby's hand

A bill for these you will not receive

A life of blessings you will perceive.

For Aunt Vada

My uncle Jerry's services are today. This poem is for my Aunt Nevada.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

W.H. Auden

So we had a little confusion this week as to what day it was. You probably noticed there wasn't a post yesterday.  Well today there is a bonus post.

But you know -

It Is What It Is --
       
But it becomes what you make it.

For year's my Momma has created a calendar for me with daily words of wisdom, poems, humor or reminders. I feel they are worth sharing. So now Mom has gone high tech and sends them via email. I hope to get her to post them here, but until she does I will share them with you.


Hope you enjoy the posts.

January 1, 2011   Saturday New Year's Day

               

                         Keeping New Year's Resolutions?

                            Yes we always make them.

                    Most times without thinking.

                    Then we always break them.

                    But to solve the problem,

                    Take someone's good advice.

                    Change your way of living.

                    Be honest, true and nice.

                    Always do the things you should,

                    Throw bad habits away,

                    Meet problems with a smile.

                    Then happiness will stay.
