Happiest Moments

A Poem by Teresa Davies


Moments from the memory
 

Times of pure delight 
From years of changing life. 
Times of new achievements, 
New skills of hand and eye. 
And life and limb. 
Reading, swimming, riding, 
A fairy cycle through the village, 
And getting though the driving test, 
All such great elations. 
Learning to observe the world, 
Seeing the beauty all around, 
The foam of crashing seas, 
Sunset’s glorious glow, 
Icebergs, and great glaciers 
The waddling walk of penguins 
And the growling gait of polar bears, 
And overall the mysterious magnificence 
Of the Aurora Borealis flickering in the night 
In awesome power and beauty. 
The revelations of such moments 
Bringing such contentment and delight. 
Above all these, 
The awesomeness of love, and its return, 
Of lover, child and grandchild. 
All of these stored in memory’s box, 
Unpacked from time to time, 
Such riches so sublime, 
And I am truly blest 
In all my happiest times.
