I woke early this morning and snuggled in deep,
Buried in the warmth of my soft bedding,
Purring at the sensation of my body heat,
As I buried in deeper to enjoy it spreading.
😊
I began to doze once more,
Until I felt a tiny claw tapping my lips,
My baby girl is hungry it seems,
So I serve her up fish and biscuit chips.
😊
I’ve a day off from the toil and bustle of life,
Smiling as I climb back into bed,
My heart skips a beat as I hear in the distance,
My two fur babies playing, the racing steps of their tread.
😊
A silken voice calls ‘Good morning,”
A happy tiding from my awesome son,
Chattering away to me as he gets ready for his day,
Leaving me with an “I love you Mum.”
😊
After a lazy read wrapped in warmth,
I rise and soak in a heated bath,
Relaxed and refreshed, I dry off,
Dressed and ready to traverse the footpath.
😊
I wandered the neighbourhood in my leisure,
Passing a friend on her way to work,
A smile and a wave uplifted my heart,
As I head on home — ‘time’ today’s perk.
😊
It’s made me realise with a lighthearted lift to my heart,
To treasure the little things that make up my day,
Forget the negative, the emotional turmoil,
And savour the positivity that makes my day okay.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

well-written piece.
Yes sometimes, the little things can bring so much joy. Such a happy poem! I loved it!
Colleen, yes to treasure the little things in life, thank you, Diane.
Gorgeous. There's such a feeling of peace in this one. Great work.
Perhaps something as inconsequential as a little "Breakfast at Tiffany's"?
