A Happy Life Poem by alan brown

The trees waved at me
as I walked along the lane
Shifting in the summer breeze
as their leaves called out my name
The Sun was high and warming
as it hit my ageing face
Bringing comfort to my old bones
as I increased my pace.
I knew what was before me
as I headed down the road.
But know one could deter me
as on and on I strode.
Would this day end in tragedy
or would my partner win
I looked up at the windows
as I approached the house.
And could see my lovely daughter
playing game with her pet mouse.
I called out loud her only name
and like the wind she ran out.
Straight into my waiting arms
and together we ran south.
I knew that I had taken her
away from my cheating wife
And now we could be together
to live a happy life
