What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

View all responses

It can be the little things,
A cool rain on the august wind,
The happy sound of a dog,
Or the croak of a little frog.
***
The beauty of the world,
A ray of sun through a tree,
The smell of wood smoke,
Or sharing a good joke.
***
The joy of seeing a friend,
After many years without them,
The hug of a grandparent,
Or fixing something errant.
***
Take time to enjoy life,
The big with the little,
Smile when you can,
Bring a smile to someone.
