Canada’s Bit of Happiness

Stop and close your eyes.
Take a deep breathe and let it out.

Can you feel it?
The icy cold wind rushing
Through your hair as you run through
A vast field of grass and flowers,
Calling out to your friends
“Hey wait for me!”
The sun is telling you things to bring back that
Pocket-sized warmth you
Get from a hug.

In the wide open space where a
Yellow Perch will
Jump out of the lake that was
Made by a melted glacier
And maybe a moose will cross
Your path while you sit in you’re new
Sundress and take all in.

Can you see it?
Those mountains in the distance
Filling up the space...
