Simple Pleasures Simple pleasures, oh such treasures When we really pause to think, They are the strength of every day; To stable joys, they are the link. That morning coffee, sunny day, A walk or run outdoors to see The beauty of dear nature's face In sky above, each bush and tree. Then morning bath or shower brings Refreshing feeling all day long. Perhaps then off to work to know Our skills are needed, we belong. Soon lunch break with a friend or two And later, with loved ones at home; This sharing of our meals and talk... A humankind of 'honeycomb'. In evening hours, perhaps a book Or taking in a movie, show, Then off to comfort of our bed. Such simple pleasures; these we know. Sandra M.
