OK, so, couple nitpicks:

"soft like" in line six. I think some punctuation would clear it up because I don't know if you mean "soft-like" or "soft, like..."

And in the last stanza you use "we" but switch to "you" in the last line.

Otherwise, lovely poem. The subject is great, the analogies better, and the nostalgic tone very nice. :)

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good... then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
