IT MAKES ME SMILE!

It makes me smile
To be alive
To hear bees buzzing
Round a hive

It makes me smile
To see the flowers
As I enjoy
The sunshine hours

It makes me smile
To smell a rose
It lifts me up
And dispels the woes

It makes me smile
To see the glow
Of a cosy fire
As it warms my toes

It makes me smile
To see a child
Happy and safe
Not running wild

It makes me smile
To hear happy laughter
Which echoes clearly
A long time after

It makes me smile
To meet with friends
To chat and laugh
Till the meeting ends

It makes me smile
To read a book
All curled up
In a cosy nook

It makes me smile
To have no pain
Although I know
It'll be back again

It makes me smile
To think of you
And days gone by
And all we'd do

It makes me smile
To hear your voice
Saying you love me
As our hearts rejoice

It makes me smile
To be a poet
For I declare
I didn't know it!
