The light sparkled on the water droplets
A prism of colours twinkled back
The world was washed clean
The rain left rainbows in the sky
The earth smelt of burgeoning life
The grass mown for the first time that year
Smelt of childhood memories
The daffodils nodded their heavy heads,
their perfume fragrant on the breeze
The sun warmed the land
and hope was there of hot summer days to come.
Who knew what the future would hold
It was enough just to be right now
To claim this day, to be in the moment
Being alive, being glad, being me
What more does anyone need
