Heart Full of Happy

 In spite of what life's plate is full of...

may we find ways to keep hearts full of 'happy'!

Head full of golden curls kissed by the sun

Bowl full of garden-green supper, yum-yum!

Bed full of baby tucked to dream-sweet lands

Crock full of zinnias plucked by helping hands

Day full of promise, table full of friends

Sky full of blue on blue that never ends

Book full of fine ‘my, oh my’ poetry

Line full of laundry and cup full of tea

Dawn full of diamonds and lawn full of shade

Bud full of beauties that flower and fade

Tree full of leaf-song, nature’s violin

Nose full of freckles on face full of grin

Jar full of jelly, belly full of lunch

Clock full of tick-tock, carrot full of crunch

Boy full of mischief and joy full of holes

Child full of laughter, medicine for souls

Choice full of consequence, house full of home

Love full of learning and life full of poem

Pride full of pitfalls we all mastermind

Thought full of echoes and plans intertwined

Sin full of sorrow and God full of grace

Hope full of hunger, persistence and faith

Sage full of wisdom and youth full of vim

Bible full of pages full of ways to know Him

Sink full of dishes waiting just for you

Stars full of wishes waiting to come true

Time full of trouble; its dust full of care

Field full of wheat-stubble, trust full of prayer

Dip full of puddle full of little feet

World full of wonder with no easy-street

Dream full of detours, summer full of sea

Heart full of happy as happy can be
