Writing is my new world, I have had time to write anything new for today, so this is from my back catalogue, it’s upbeat and cheerful, it fits this time of year and it’s one of my favourites.

Thank you all for your support during 2025, it’s been a tough year for me, what with the burns and all.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY.

My son, the sun, a smile from anyone, anyone’s love, the sky up above.
My lady, a new baby, a better tomorrow well maybe.
Fresh rain, no pain, a walk down memory lane.
A smile from my wife, green shoots of life, a sign of the end of worldwide strife.
My feet in running water, my soon to be in law daughter, the scars on my arm getting shorter and shorter.
Something I’ve made something I’ve written, a stroll down a country lane in my lovely Britain.
The smell of the sea, a cup of Earl Grey tea, fish and chips for my sweet lady and me.
A bright shooting star, to be where you are, knowing that friends are never too far.
The sound of birds, cattle grazing in herds, the beauty of her face and my wife’s loving words.

All words Meadowhead Bard.
