Happiness
Happiness lies in the simple things in life -
hearing birdsong when one awakens in the early morning
observing the morning sun creating diamonds from dewdrops
seeing a baby's smiling face
watching a spider spin its web
feeling the bark of an old faithful tree
watching baby animals at play
being dazzled by brilliant sunshine
streaming from a clear blue and white sky
hearing birdsong when one awakens in the early morning
observing the morning sun creating diamonds from dewdrops
seeing a baby's smiling face
watching a spider spin its web
feeling the bark of an old faithful tree
watching baby animals at play
being dazzled by brilliant sunshine
streaming from a clear blue and white sky

Thanks for your kind words and for resurrecting this piece which I posted more than four years ago.

Ahh Socrates - the simple things in life that you don't need to buy. Our lesson is that money and materialistic things cannot bring us love and happiness. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Happy New Year
I think some people set the bar too high to obtain contentment, Fancy cars, Large houses , three holidays per annum etc.etc.
I'm in total agreement with your wisdom,
True happiness is available in Nature's simple beauties. It's a priceless gift that many struggle to achieve.
