- The first coffee of the day
- Watching our kittens play
- Whiskey on a winter’s night
- Holding someone special tight
- Memories triggered by song
- Feeling right where you belong
- Watching all the children grow
- Teaching all of what you know
- A great poem that you wrote
- Inspiration from a quote
- Causing a new friend to smile
- Contemplating for a while
- Watching the river flow by
- Migrations across the sky
- A forest walk in the rain
- Waking up again, again

That is indeed a very lovely list! (And I notice you found even more than 10, with no trouble at all.)

Well, once I started…..
I was contemplating half love half hate but I ended up writing about how pointless hate is and it didn’t work, so I just kept going with the loves.
Cheers Rosemary 🙏

Shaun, Of course it had to start with coffee (or tea in my case), all good things do, so all that follows, follows naturally, unselfconsciously, and sometimes surprisingly like, “Causing a new friend to smile” — and then you realize how true, that IS so lovely! Such a satisfying poem, Shaun.
