Life Makes Me Smile Poem by ART PAUL SCHLOSSER

Delightfully life makes you smile
With little secrets like birds singing
Snowflakes come on a winter day with a dancing style
Awesome things fly on the wind like a child in a swing swinging

The sun rises with a lovely red sky
A friend calls you up with a surprise visit
Sure, times are sad when someone dies
But the funeral brings old friends to come and sit

The cold air lets you see your breath as you breathe
Icicles form on the side of the roof gothic like
The flowers come too soon in march to tease
Before you know it it's almost time to ride your bike

Yes, there are little smiles and twinkling stars
A butterfly on a warm summer day to tickle you
A special hat on sale at a store that reaches out where you are
Your mind starts singing a song like the happy morning dew

All these things make me want to jump and dance
Thank God he gave me reasons not to give up
I may not be a gardener but I must admit you have pretty plants
Count my blessings when the going gets tough
