I know, that a joyous-attitude is simply just another ‘state-of-mind’

A state-of-being that I can choose, at any given point-in-time

Sublimely independent from anything observably external

Because ultimately, we are all creators-of-our-own-realities

Each-of-us, from a Source-of-Energy, that is always pure and eternal

All one has to do, is allow the reality most desired, unto oneself reveal

For thoughts and feelings have vibrational-outcomes whereby it definitely helps to stay appreciative and joyful

Lest one creates realities that are ‘undesired’, going around and around in circles

But even that doesn’t have to stop a lad or lass from staying true to ones ideals

And so, I give thanks that the Earth still turns and the Sun still shines

The Birds still sing and I feel fine

With all of life’s appeal

I place two shiny new conkers in your hands

Commenting on how many leaves are gathering now under the trees, fallen to the ground

We count the grazing geese upon the green, (there’s more than fifty!)

And remark upon a fearless squirrel darting across our path with boundless energy

I let down our ponytails so we can feel the Autumn breeze in our hair

With the sound of the fountain spray upon the lake in the air

We stop to say ‘Hello‘ to a majestic white swan upon the pond who holds its neck so proudly

And over the hump back bridge we say ‘Hi’ to a crow changing branches in a tree

Whose slick black feathers shine iridescently

Then we see two little girls chasing each other around a playground

They laugh and shout: ‘you can’t catch me, you can’t catch me…’

On the way back we wave at our reflections in the window and pause briefly

Before I comb and braid your hair into a plait so very neatly
