little loves, little joys

look for the little joys.
they are everywhere:
honeycomb bliss of a morning waffle
                  small purple blossoms on a tree
your mother's voice, concerned and loving
                    an errant wave that soaks your knee

beware the little loves.
they lurk everywhere:
shallow throb of a passing stranger
              cinema romance fills the night
your birthright spent on peacock trifles
               gossip-cocktails, clothes too tight

For joy is a gift from our good Creator,
scattered below for us to find
while love is another thing altogether...
careful, friend, how you use God's heart.
