#16 of 30 Poems by Christine Tracy

Bottled Joy

If I could bottle

The fresh scent of

Aspen in the Fall,

Pine in Winter,

Sagebrush in Spring;

Add a bit of

Sunshine,

Blue sky,

And Summer rain;

With a few

Wild roses,

And a cup of

Cool mountain air;

And if I could 

Keep this with me

Always;

I might get to be

A famous author,

Or poet,

Or artist,

Or musician;

Or simply

A better me.
