Bottled Treasures


If you could capture the things that make you smile
Keep them for sadder times, reflect a while
On the scent of your first born after a bath
Or the smile of my Grandpa and his beautiful laugh
Tears of pride from my father when I first took to stage
The patience of my mother when I found teenage rage
The smell of eucalyptus, out in the rain
The way a friends hug can take away pain
If I could bottle them up on the days I feel pale
I could just pull out that cork, smile and inhale

That would be a wonderful thing for sure ... oh to have it all so within reach - what a treasure :) And isn't it lovely just to think about what you would put in that bottle?
