The Best Things
Smelling a flower in full bloom
Holding the hand of the one you love
Reveling in the laughter of a child
Basking in the warmth of the sun
Walking in the pouring rain
Bringing a smile to the faces of the elderly
Sharing a hug filled with warmth
Seeing the first time a baby smiles
Watching the clouds as they float by
Feeling the tickle of a puppy's kisses
If you just take the time to notice
You'll discover for yourself
It really is true
The best things in life are free
