If happiness is gratitude
doubled by wonder,
the wonder in your eyes
shows me I’ve never felt thanks like this –
thanks that’s poured out of my heart and into my toes
and out through my lips against your cheek.
What is happiness if not this:
My little turkey scooting across the floor
in a home full of family.
As the afternoon winds down,
she sleeps against my heart
while we sit by the fire.
With Love,
Natalie
