Simple Pleasures

Cotton candy clouds at sunset Star lit skies at darkest night Yellow moons in the heaven My hand in yours held tight . Small verdant hands that say hello To creatures great and small God’s gentle breath stirring them Until their time to fall . Ladybugs and lightening bugs Inch worms here and there Wooly bears and wondrous things Our time to watch, so rare. And in the blue, birds call and coo Looking for their mate They soar, they spy, they swoop, then say Fly home, the day is late. But not for us we say with joy Our time has just begun We walk, we dream, we speak of life And all the things we’ve done. While in the quiet of the night The rabbits romp and play For a moment silent and still Our love to last, I pray. Behold the wonders near and far Keep them in your heart The simple pleasures we have shared From these we shall not part.
