What Brings Bits of Happiness

after Fanny Howe

Lisa’s voice and laughter

Lisa singing by herself

The dogs sleeping nearby

Music playing while I cook

Food with friends’ conversation

Wine whiskey and poetry

Reading and writing

Books where sentences shimmer

Fields of flowers

A single rose in a vase

My children grown into their lives

Autumn and Spring blue skies

Slow walks in art museums

My grandchildren’s laughter
