Happy are those - Sunshine and Happiness


A golden ray of sunshine - those are the kind of days that are sure to make a memory.




Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Push those words back
To me, don't you see
So I will know
Today and forever
You are mine, you are mine
Say you'll be mine


Flowers. There must always be flowers. Because they color my world, every single day.

So the joy may touch your soul

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

I got to say I really really like the look of the wet flowers. Kind of sums up so many things. Like there is no total perfection in life. Like you say every rose has it thorns, just try to find the ones with the less thorns lol. But, after all, they are beautiful in spite of being wet. Rain or shine, I wish you a truly happy day!!
We have really been fortunate to not have rain except perhaps for a little bit at night. So every morning everything is covered with rain or pork chops however you want to look at it. I think it looks really really beautiful and yes! Perfection is so overrated.
Thank you for stopping by and say hello and leaving those words behind! It truly is a beautiful day rain or shine, as usual. Have a most wonderful day yourself!

Amazing photographs! You really captures those flowers nicely, the second one is definitely my favorite :)
Thank you so much for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your kind comment behind.
Much appreciated and I think the second one has come in first place with so many. I probably should have used it as my first picture. :)
Thanks again and have a great night!

That is, unfortunately, the summer days are numbered. Only global warming, before it becomes deadly, will prolong our summer by a few days.
Wonderful photos!
!trdo
Right now, we are still at 35C but, the flowers are starting to die off, some of them anyway... just little reminders that fall will be upon us. We won't get cooler weather until mid October- late October here in Washington, DC.
Thank you so much, Dan! @BlueMoon
With pleasure! The climate is similar to that in Romania, the difference is 2 -3 C, colder here.
@dswigle,
Nice. Did you write that or is it a quote?
The wet flower pictures (#2 & #6) ... they're very compelling although I'm hard-pressed to say why.
Quill
@Quillfire
Surely you jest, am I reading this right?
Do you think I would quote
Without saying who wrote it?
Thank you. ;) A little rhyme-y but, hey, doncha know... It was the best I could do, especially on the run.
I'm glad you like the flowers. Haha! You don't have to have a reason to like them. Flowers just make me irrationally happy. Good enough reason for me. :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words! Have a great day!

@dswigle,
Hi Denise.
The reason I asked is because on previous occasions I have exuberantly congratulated people on their fine poetic creations only for them to inform me that it was Wordsworth. I suspected it was yours, though.
The style is familiar, like some famous Victorian poet, but I can't put my finger on exactly who. The Victorian poets were big into writing about Nature.
In any event, I really like it. It flows nicely. "
Nice phrase.
Quill
Aren't you supposed to give a source when you use a quote? I like the Victorian styling myself, it is demure and oh-so-lovely.
I meant to ask you, the link you gave me was to an old post. I didn't forget your thing and please tell me I have until tomorrow to do one. :)
@dswigle,
The Contest's Deadline is August 25, 11:59 UTC. Here's the post link:
https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@felixgarciap/reminder-of-the-nineteenth-issue-of-lyric-poetry-contest-prompt-flawless
The PHC twist is that you must apply the Contest's "flawless" writing prompt ... to a "Pork Roast."
Good Luck. Take no prisoners. :-)
Quill
Thanks, Quill. @quillfire
You 're awesome. Now I have to enter. LOL

Luckily for me here in South Africa, summer is on its way!! The days are already becoming nice and warm!!
Summers on the way! Say it isn't true because what it's summer for you truly the cold will be hitting Us in the face!

I'm actually glad for you because I think that we have had enough summer and it's time for us to spread the cheer! Enjoy your upcoming days and I'll be thinking of you!
Thank you so much, I am really looking forward to the summer!!
