The twinkle
in an eye.
The starlight
in the sky.
The joy
of just jumping.
The living
heart pumping.
Seeing
the drop on a rose.
Seeing
the drop on a nose.
Seeing
the man of caustic humor.
Seeing
the negative test for tumor.
Feeling
peace deep down in our souls.
Feeling
loved in our working life’s roles.
Feeling
light as we give our love a whirl.
Feeling
joy when we see a playing baby girl.
When finding
pretty rocks.
When watching
shapely buttocks.
When we
are swinging on swings.
When our
favorite artist sings.
Being
touched by the first warmth of a shower.
Being
touched by a cool wind in a tower.
Being
touched by the ocean breeze at sunset.
Being
touched by Mom’s Yes! You can have a pet.
Others
true laughter at your newest joke.
Others
friendly banter as you hot tub soak.
Others
encouraging you, when trying something new.
Others
applauding for a procrastinated project you slew.
Sharing
laughter with the right sex mate.
Sharing
a bed and sleeping in late.
Sharing
a crossword puzzles last word.
Sharing
identifying of a beautiful bird.
All these
things.
Where
life springs.
