Nuggets of Happiness.
A Poem on Enjoying the Little Things in Life
Happiness is in the little things that we share, though we often cannot notice or accredit them in the busyness of life.
Take some time to embrace little nuggets of joy around you.
In the quiet hum of dawn
Coffee’s warmth, in porcelain
Steam curling, a gentle kiss
Life’s embrace, loving bliss.
The sun’s light travels through the screen,
Pure gold dances on kitchen beams,
Each new ray tiny spark
Ribbons of light around my heart.
The rustle of leaves, a gentle hum,
A playful song on Nature's harp,
Rain's sweet touch on cobblestones-
The fleeting touch of life in motion.
A passing smile, a lighthouse's beam
Guides wayward ships through dense fog
Its light on rough seas, ever gleams
Shines a path through dinghy smog
Tiny moments, trite and small
Together weave Joy’s gown,
But a patchwork gown one owns
But dress that’s by self always sown.

All Alone
As a teacher, one comes across that one student in class who doesn’t seem to have any company. While some don’t graduate from school any worse for wear, others display signs of societal maladjustment. Many grow up in harsh environments or create them.

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
