Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Simple Pleasures

After a long and tiring working day
A lavender bath soaks my cares away

Hearing my husband’s car purr onto the drive
Knowing he’s home safely, oh it's good to be alive!

Seeing a beautiful rainbow high up in the sky
An upside down smile from heaven, always catches my eye

Moonlight walk along the silver sand
Walking with my husband, hand in hand

Curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea
Composing lots and lots of my poetry
