Little Wins

This poem was written for our May monthly poetry group. The theme for this poem was 'little things'. I hope you enjoy it! Little Wins When I've no time to park, and there's one perfect space,  When the first hints of summer shine warm on my face, When I find a tenner in my trouser back pocket,  When I'm sipping a whisky and eating dark chocolate,  When the fresh shoots of a plant appear in the pot, When the beer is ice-cold but the company's not, When the last call of the day ends, a half hour to spare, When I can sit listening to music with a cat in my chair, When I'm watching the sun sinking into the sea,  When we've not booked at the restaurant, but there's one table free,  When I finally solve a longstanding bug, When I make a fresh brew in my favourite mug,  When the takeaway driver knocks at my door, When I still fit the shorts I bought the summer before,  When the last piece of the jigsaw fits right into place, When someone reminds me of mercy
