That feels so surreal
But I pinch myself
And make sure it's real

It's like a wine glass
Overflowing with smiles
Smiles that must've been misplaced
Back when I was a child

And the wine glass
Has an overflow
All the extra happiness
Needs somewhere to go

So I pick up a piece
And place it in a jar
I keep the jar close
It has a place in my heart

Each extra smile
Has found a place
And in this magic peanut butter jar
There's always extra space

So when I wake up
Feeling happy and free
I put some cheerfulness away
But still take what I need

So when I have a bad day
A day filled with resentment
I reach in my magic peanut butter jar
And take enough for contentment

This magic peanut butter jar
Holds my necessities to survive
When I found this peanut butter jar
It immediately changed my life [comments] => 2 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 19 [informant] => dreamer_for_eternity [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

This is such a cute poem! It would be great in an anthology of children's poetry!
Once again, you've outdone yourself, dreamer_for_eternity!

Great work! Keep it up!

What an interesting read! I really liked this one.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
