Simple Pleasures

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

How can you enjoy the light of day

When the only shade you see is grey?

For details are what make up life's treasures

What's life without these simple pleasures?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The sweet, subtle sound of silence;

The laugh to a joke that doesn't make sense.

The rush of the tide upon the shore;

The sharp lash of noise from a slam of a door.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The bark of a dog to welcome you home;

The root beer float overflowing with foam.

The words to a song that you hum in your head;

The purr your cat makes when it wants to be fed.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Appreciation for the work you have done;

To lay by the pool and soak in the sun.

The sound of the crickets on midsummer's night;

How your favorite jeans always seem to fit just right.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

To wake up just fresh from a dream;

Watch the baseball game and scream.

Lay down on the grass on the 4th of July;

The Thanksgiving dinner and eat pumpkin pie.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The satisfaction of buying the perfect gift;

Making a snow angel in the first snow drift.

For details are what make up life's treasures,

What's life without these simple pleasures?
