I’m sure I’ve missed a few
Off the list of things I turn to
That help me through the blue days
(Which I’m slowly getting used to)
My list is to assist me
In steering to my cheery place
In case I have forgotten
That there are common thing that often…
Make me smile
Reliably
Just knowing they’re there makes life a little better
Just knowing that I could always get a:
Cuppa Tea, Beach Boys CD, Long Hot Bath, Bangers and Mash,
Crisp Clean Sheets, Coronation Street, Daffodils and Chocolate Milk.
Which would reliably
Make me smile
Mileage my vary from mine for you
But it’s fine to make your own one too
An inventory of respite and distraction
That in spite of your mood might provoke a reaction
A catalogue could help to
Subdue your mood and tell you
In case you had forgotten
That there are common thing that often…
Make you smile
Reliably
Just knowing they’re there makes life a little better
Just knowing that you could always get a:
Cappuccino, Tarantino Flick, A Quick Sudoku or Crossword To Go Through
Duvet Day, Lemon Sorbet, Parma Violets or Moments of Quietness.
Which would reliably
Make you smile
A list of things that all have a knack
Of asking nothing back
So I can take ‘em
Or I can leave ‘em
Ignore ‘em
Or ask for ‘em
Just knowing they’re there makes life a little better
Just knowing that I could always get a
Smile
