Jolly Poems
The Morning Key
The sun is soft, the sky is blue,
I wake and think of you.
The coffee smells so warm and deep,
It holds the secrets that I keep.
The world outside is cold and gray,
But here, inside, I start my day.
A little light, a simple sound,
My feet are safe upon the ground.
A Cup of Quiet
I hold the mug with both my hands,
I watch the rain fall on the lands.
The steam goes up, it fades away,
It tells me: rest, it’s okay.
No need to rush, no need to run,
The day is long, but here’s the sun.
Just let the quiet be a friend,
It helps the worried heart to mend.
The Garden’s Song
A tiny seed in dark, cold ground,
It waits for spring to make no sound.
Then comes the rain, then comes the light,
It grows so green, a lovely sight.
I see the rose, I see the bee,
A busy world, so wild and free.
The flowers do not ask for much,
Just gentle sun and rain’s soft touch.
What Dogs Know
My dog just sleeps and does not care
About the news or what to wear.
He puts his head upon my knee,
He says: “Just stay right here with me.”
He does not count the hours gone,
He knows the joy of going on.
A simple walk, a piece of string,
Is greater than any big thing.
City Rain
The cars go fast, the lights are red,
The people rush, they hang their head.
But then the rain begins to fall,
It cleans the street, it calms it all.
The windows glow like honey jars,
The sidewalk shows the passing stars.
The city slows, it takes a breath,
And finds its peace inside the wet.
The Art of Small
A plate of soup, a loaf of bread,
A cozy place to rest my head.
A book that waits upon the shelf,
A quiet moment with myself.
These little things, they mean the most,
More than a thing that I can boast.
A tiny flame, a hand to hold,
Is better far than silver, gold.
How to Begin
I don’t know all the words to say,
I learn them in a simple way.
A step by step, a word by word,
A voice inside that’s faintly heard.
It’s okay if I make a mistake,
The path is mine, it’s what I take.
With every line, I grow a bit,
This is the way to master it.
The Window Seat
