"Such Very Little Things"

A bright geranium in a pot
It cheered my spirit quite a lot.
A scent of saltness from the sea
Made worlds of difference to me.
A song the wind sang thro' the corn,
A thrush psalm heard at breaking morn
And all my strength seemed newly born.

A wish upon a picture card;
A dog-barked welcome from the yard;
A sunbeam laid across a stream
The memory-glamour of a dream;
An old friend's hand-grip, word and smile,
And life was just a grand 'worthwhile'.
