This life's good enough for me,
My heart's happy and carefree;
A pleasant smile cast my way
Is enough to make my day
Or to see a daffodil
Swaying on some verdant hill
To beguiling melodies
Composed by the gypsy breeze,
That's enough to make me smile
And delight me for a while
Should a stranger tip his hat
And pause for a friendly chat,
I shall be grateful for that
Or if some tall shady tree
Spreads its arms to shelter me
From the sun's intensity,
Could a frown wrinkle my brow?
Surely not - at least not now!
Warbling birds and buzzing bees -
Two of Nature's symphonies,
How could this music not please?
And with Love close by my side,
I shall be quite satisfied
But should no one smile at me,
Nor one flower do I see,
And the stranger walks away
Without bidding me "Good day, "
If the birds forgot their song,
I'd forgive the silent throng,
If all Nature's wonders cease,
My gladness would not decrease,
For Love is life's true masterpiece!
So long as Love holds my hand,
I shall find life to be grand;
Though the gales blow wild and rough,
I'll know I've been blessed enough

This is so true, if we have love by our side nothing else really matters...as always a wonderful creation.
