Lana Manis: Simple Joys

It doesn’t take much to make me happy. 

Give me a rose bush

And I’ll be mesmerized by the raindrops ~

Used, perhaps, by the dragonflies as gazing balls… 

Give me a hydrangea bloom

I’ll watch with wonder as dewdrops congregate for a meeting ~

With each petal so completely covered that there is standing room only… 

Give me a red clover leaf

And I’ll marvel at how long the moisture hangs on the leaves ~

Nourishing the fuzzy surface and then softly rolling off to water the ground…

Give me a cabbage head

Yes, a cabbage head ~ 

And I’ll be happy and grateful for even the simplest of joys…
