Well I suppose it's a good thing
not to have outgrown the little happys -
pleasure that comes from things people say -
their kindness and appreciation
And while it's good to cultivate enduring joy
that burns and burbles unconditional,
that flows up into places that need relief from pain,
that offers hope and comfort where it finds itself
It also doesn't hurt
to get a message or a package
that someone took the time to send,
that someone thought of first
It's good to be lit up by someone's efforts
and that my little happy please them too.
