happiness
is a small wooden figure
with a funny face
a wide smile and a white beard
wearing a cheerful Christmas hat
with a large red heart on his chest
taken from a loft’s safe keeping
full of other forget me nots
he has found his way
on to our garden deck table
where he sits amongst
cyclamens of purple passion
keeping an eye on a fat pigeon
feeding on spilled bird seed
and a robin with a wriggling
worm in its beak
enjoying their morning breakfast

Wonderful Cassie I too have such items around the house. Loved the poem
Thank you Soren. This little wooden Christmassy figure is about 15 years old now. It has great sentimental value. Pleased you enjoyed this poem.
A rich complete picture with both colour and movement easily viewed in my mind's eye, Cassie.
So Mr Happiness would be exhausted (in a good way) after all the diverse activity surrounding the Festive Season and twelve days from the 25th no doubt will be quite grateful to wend his weary way back into the peace and seclusion of the loft for another year.
Hello Dave. We usually have a house full at Christmas, so I guess you are right 🙂. He ‘ll need a years rest back in the loft to recover. Thank you for stopping by. All good wishes.
You remind me here of my cousin and family in Devon. She has the large house full to the gunnels over the festive season. Me, I prefer to spend it with my one and only favourite lady. Have yourselves a good one.
We have a large family and they all descend on us over Christmas. It’s hard work, but great fun. You have an enjoyable Christmas Dave with your lady.
A most lovely poem,
sounds like a wonderful
keepsake you cherish and
bring out for the Christmas
season each year! 🌲 🧑🎄
