Oh Sweet Happenings Poem by Edwina Reizer

Oh sweet happenings that make me dream
Of wondrous days and splendid nights
Occur within the smallest seconds
and the tiniest of all my sights.

I can see a butterfly with wings outspread
flitting from here to there.
I can watch a bluebird on a perch
then leaving it, soar in the air.

I can see a star as it blinks in the sky
and never look away.
I can watch the sun arise in the morn
and shine its warmth all day.

I can read your words that form on a page
and feel the beauty they are.
I can anticipate your thoughts in my heart
and know they're never far.

All of these may seem miniature
and yet these things that I do
are immense in their ability
to keep me close to you.
