I woke up smiling today
Visions of dark clouds
Passing through the sky
Evaporating
Piece by piece
Back to before
Conception
What is left?
Smiles
Grace
Love
By all mankind
Encouraging words
Forever grateful
A pleasing life
May you have a plate full
Always
Smiling again at every turn
We’re all meant to be okay

We are meant to be okay. Loved that line. Can you imagine if everyone got up with the thought? You gotta wonder what would happen.

Thank you, John. I do wonder…we poets do that all day. 😉

I loved this poem…it made my day (although it is night and I am about to turn in…). Really something positive and perfect which matches up so well the day worked out for me (one of those unexpected nice days…yet with nothing really overwhelmingly good happening, if you know what I mean?!?). Cheers!

Hey you…I’m so happy to see you around again. I’m thrilled that your great day found my happy poem. ( I was having the same sort of happy day with nothing significant brightening my mood, as well. I like that and totally get what you’re saying.)
