These are dedicated to Nadine, the very best friend anyone has ever had. I am thankful, daily, that she is mine.

The Best Things

Smelling a flower in full bloom
Holding the hand of the one you love
Reveling in the laughter of a child
Basking in the warmth of the sun
Walking in the pouring rain
Bringing a smile to the faces of the elderly
Sharing a hug filled with warmth
Seeing the first time a baby smiles
Watching the clouds as they float by
Feeling the tickle of a puppy's kisses
If you just take the time to notice
You'll discover for yourself
It really is true
The best things in life are free

Blanketed In Love

This blanket that's wrapped around me
Provides much more than protection from the cold
Each and every stitch was crocheted with pure love
And as I wrap myself in the blanket
I feel the love engulf me
And it reaches down to my very soul
And the warmth spreads throughout my being
And I feel your arms wrap around me
And the miles that lie between us disappear
And I feel you here by my side once more
