Were you happy?
Did you have
a happy day?
Did you remember
to touch its hours
expectanly?
Were your fingers firm as you reached forth
to pluck each harp-string moment
that the melody of this day
might please you?
Did you have
a happy day?
Were there sounds of laughter?
Gasps of wonder? Sighs of peace?
And now that it is gone
do you remember
pleasantly
the cadence of the march of time
into eternity?
Were you happy?
Did you have
a happy day?
Oh! Margie, what a happy poem.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile. Iife is good, Oh! so good. I really liked this one.
"Were your fingers firm as you reached forth

"the cadence of the march of time

Yes, dear Margie, indeed our life, as an orchestration, conducted, moved, by our perceptions, and felt and heard within the openness of our soul. I feel the concordance of our way. Blessings.
Margie that was just awesome! It reminded me to be HAPPY...no matter what. TY so very much!
ReplyDeleteur such a prolific writer...keep em coming lovely lady!
Keshi.
Hi there! Its been a while since we last caught up. Yeah, it's really hard not having a job 'cause I've been so fed up being a bum here in the house. But I know in the right time, it'll come. Thanks Margie! You take care, ayt?
ReplyDeleteCez
So far, YES!!! ;oD
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, Margie!! VERY inspiring and uplifting! :o)
I hope you are doing well! I just sent you a FaceBook message explaining what happend...Mostly, people kept disappearing from my list and then reappearing and so I tried to fix it. I hope you're having a happy day!! :o)
Hey great to see u back dear.. this is truly a beautiful poetry.. thanks dear.. :))
ReplyDeleteHope to see you around:))
Take care
Margie, You are such an amazing woman! I feel so lucky to have you as a friend. I enjoy spending time with you and all of your encouraging notes! Thank you so much for being so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting question . . . happy comes and goes. But I guess that is the point, balance and change.
ReplyDeleteI once read that if there were no death, there would be no religion.
Don't know about that. Seems like we would still need a guiding light to keep from total chaos.
Margie, that was delightful, you certainly have not lost your touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you for filling me in ... glad all is well. hugs for you
Margie...
ReplyDeletebeautiful words to reflect on... it makes me think of happiness as a perspective... what could i see today that made me feel happy... i wonder how many of us really think much about that... and how all you really need do is turn your attention in that direction and you can easily think of all the things that brought a smile...
it is so wonderful to see you back again...
A beautiful poem Margie and so good to see you back writing. Hope all is well with you & the family. Thank you for your visit also my friend.. stay well. :)
ReplyDeleteMargie: Welcome back! Hope you will spend more time for blogging. Happy blogging; god bless!

Hello Rose Marie
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm very much in agreement with your words, " Indeed our life, as an orcherstration, conducted, moved by our perceptions, and felt & heard within the openness of our soul, I feel the concordance of our way."
Thank you & blessings to you, as well ~
Margie:)
Hi Keshi
ReplyDeleteIf my poem might remind you to be HAPPY, no matter what, then that makes me HAPPY too!
I do believe there are always moments of happiness in our days, even when we mighte not be so happy.
We just have to look around us, it might just be a little thing, like the smile of a loved one.
Thank you, Keshi for your kind words!
I always appreciate them very much!
Margie:)
Hi Cez
ReplyDeleteYes, in the right time, a job will come to you.
Enjoy all the time you now have to spend with your family....nothing as special as that!
I wish you much luck on finding that right job for you!
Take care.
Margie:)
Hello Jon
ReplyDeleteThanks very much & so glad you answered with, "YES!!!"
That made me smile!
It's so good to be "happy!"
I find it's the little things in life that make me the most happy, it might just be having my wonderful dog Jake, sitting next to me and I am petting him.
That is a small thing but it makes me truly happy!
Glad to reconnect with you on Facebook....I wondered what happened.
Take care, my friend!
Margie:)

Hi Goatman
ReplyDelete*Happy comes and happy goes*
Yes, that is so true but it's lovely when the happiness comes more than it goes, don't you agree?
Hmmmmm, I wonder about that, if there were no death, there would be no religion.
Guiding lights, I think are very good to have in one's life!
Hope you are recovering.
Take care!
Margie:)

Hi Eric
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, my friend!
It's always a pleasure to visit you!
I'm doing ok, still having problems with my knee, but it could always be worse.
I finished with PT and will have to make a decision on surgery.
Not sure about that.
Take care, Eric!
