Perhaps Especially In Old Age/How Happiness Comes Suddenly From Such Small Things

PERHAPS ESPECIALLY IN OLD AGE/HOW HAPPINESS COMES SUDDENLY FROM SUCH SMALL THINGS

Perhaps especially in old age,
How happiness comes suddenly from such small things-
The surprising sight of glistening leaves,
A shaft of sunlight on a cold morning,
The sky opening up after the rain-

Small perceptions and deep feelings
Happiness from such small things
even in old age.
