Eunice will be setting the poetic topic for August's Challenge.

August challenge: Write a poem about something that makes you happy.

So good to be Loved

So good to be loved
for when I go home
You are always there
and I am not alone.
Your arms enfold me
as you hold me tight
so even when I'm sad
you make things seem right

The touch of your hand
the smile on your face.
You just look at me
and my heart doth race.
I hope this life
will always be this way.
And we will be together
forever and a day.

Doreen E Hampshire

This is what makes me feel happy

GOD

God made me and I'm thankful for that
HE is my creator my search seeker mat
Whenever I'm blue and feeling alone
HE is right there beside me edging me on

At times when I feel like the world lets me down
I reach out to speak to HIM and I'm no longer alone
HE guides me and helps me and gives me such joy
I am so grateful HE is my concrete voice

I owe HIM so much but HE asks for nothing in return
Just that I love HIm and serve HIM with no scorn
Be kind to others and treat them with grace
Don't be judgmental keep a smile on your face


Praise HIM and talk to HIm every single day
Not just when you find things aren't going your way
HE will be there for you just give HIM a try
But whatever you do don't ever say good-bye

Margaret Latter

Thank you for the topic for this month, Eunice, and nice to see entries coming in already, and such heartlifting ones too.

well done, and look forward to reading more.

Good ones, Margaret and Doreen.

Dawn breaking, a new day
Kittens at play

A lover’s embrace
The Sun on my face

Spring grass freshly mown
A small kindness shown

Animals wild and free
Floral variety

A beer down the pub
A hot soak in the tub

A good film on T.V.
A letter for me

A call from a friend
Some money to spend

Sitting under a tree
Writing poetry

For the beauty of creation Lord
That all around I see
For birdsong and for flowers
I give my thanks to thee

For sunshine and for showers
That make the flowers grow
For mountains and for rivers
And for the winter snow

For all the many blessings
That I enjoy along my way
Let me sing thy praises Lord
For giving me this day
