Come sit by the fire... let's reminisce
About this and that, about what makes us sing
Watching a robin take its first flight
Or a squirrel scurrying up a tree
The sun coming out from behind the clouds
The gentle breeze blowing the leaves in autumn
The gentle snow flakes softly falling in winter
Covering the ground like a warm blanket
Or is it the laughter of a baby
The purring of a kitten
The sound of cows mooing in the field
The twinkling stars on a warm summer's eve
A shooting star
The hum of the city
Which tells us we're one of many
Enjoying life on this amazing planet of ours
The roar of a jet engine
Taking people away on a happy vacation
The sound of a marching band
The smile on the cashiers face
As she wishes you to have a great day
So many images throughout life
Remind us how amazing it is to be alive
To experience these simple pleasures
To conjure up these amazing vignettes
Of the wonders we see and feel every day
I still remember my very first day at school
That was eighty years ago
But it's just like it was yesterday
Attending my very first baseball game
And none other than Jackie Robinson
Playing second base for the Montreal Royals
In his very first professional game
I could go on and on but as I age
My memory is not as reliable as it once was
Memories are wonderful to try to hold on to
To look back on a life filled with happiness and joy
Of course, there were some sad times
But they were far outnumbered
By just the simple pleasures we all experience
My life has been amazing!
In this fast paced world of ours
I still enjoy lifes simple pleasures
It’s the uncomplicated joys
That I truly value and treasure
I treasure the joy of nature
Simplistic, raw, complete
The joy of family and friends
Loves connections pure and sweet
I treasure the joy of a beloved pet
A four legged member of the family
The unconditional love they possess
Has no end in it’s entirety
I treasure the joy of home
Shelter safe and secure
Precious blessings and comforts inside
Where happiness is assured
I treasure the joy of freedom
Fortunate to safely roam
In a country that I love
A country I call home
I treasure human Kindness
One of give and share
Of unselfishness and acceptance
Mankind simply being aware
No desire for material riches
Or the need to be entertained
I treasure lives special moments
Where lasting memories remain
I treasure affection and humour
Laughter is a true pleasure
In this fast paced world of ours
I’m so blessed with glorious treasures!
After a hard day's work,
these weary feet drag me home,
with the urge of pulling the cork
from the red wine chilling in the cooler;
and smell steaming pasta primavera into a large bowl...
before I am tempted by my gluttonery desire!
Simple pleasures like relaxing my elbows
on a comfortable leather sofa,
with legs stretched-out on soft cotton pillows
and watching a dramatic soap opera;
pop-corn, potato-chips and beer...
yes, for a toast to health, indeed!
I may start to yawn and fall asleep...
unless, through my open window, spiders will slowly creep;
and crawl onto my arms and face,
but one sneeze blows them away, and
trust me on this: the others won't certainly play around,
when they hear the scheme of my surprise!
And if ideas bubble up into my energetic brain,
more plentifull than memories they'll tap this imagination;
and with pen and pad I'll spend hours contemplating inspiration,
and shouldn't it come swiftly while I cool off by the oscillating fan,
the dreariness of an empty home can effect my solitary mood:
and more than a melancholic moon...I'll vainly brood!

I’m sitting silently listening to the swoosh swoosh of the sea
Children paddle in icy sapphire water, so young and carefree
Their screams of innocent laughter are ringing in my ear
I reminisce of my childhood and dream of yesteryear
Of days before computers and the electronic age
Mobile phones weren’t invented, now they are all the rage
Bleep Bleep Bleep oh how irritating, it is a constant noise
But now they are essential to many young girls and boys
Life so full of simple pleasures, wind blowing through my hair
Running round barefooted with kites floating in mid air
Digging spectacular sandcastles with a dramatic moat
Splashing around in the sea together in a tiny little boat
Enjoying a perfect picnic on the golden sand
Getting an ice cream and it melting down my hand
Finding stunning starfish and a pretty pink seashell
Take them into school to display at show and tell
Climbing into craggy rock pools with a fishing net
Falling on the rocks getting clothes soaking wet
Bathing beauties on the beach topping up a tan
Suns rays beating down they wish they had a fan

My Heart
I once was asked what kind of heart beats within my chest
A simple heart was my reply, a heart that tries it's best
It's a heart that wouldn't hesitate to walk a friend's last mile
A heart that’s fierce but still can melt when it sees a child’s smile
Sometimes it is a selfish heart that doesn't like to break
At other times it’s a fun filled heart that loves a birthday cake
It's a heart that beats with tenderness for the people in its life
A heart that's sometimes worn down from worrying and strife
Sometimes it is a restless heart that longs for some adventures
But mostly it’s a contented heart that enjoys life’s simple pleasures
It’s a heart that’s filled with faith and hope and lots of love to share
This heart that beats within my chest, it beats because it cares
Going back in time and change
all the mistakes I made is absurd and impossible;
I look at myself and feel rage...
my vain existence could have been so incredible.
Tarots readers promise us changes with an amulet,
when their false prediction turn out to be a hoax,
we realize we have been spinning in a fast vortex...
not believing that it had caused sobs in our chest.
All the gold in a vault cannot buy youth, some go to extremes
to get it back even briefly, then they try to reach a new altitude,
" All wishes are possible, not this one! " The skeptic believes,
" Know that beauty is hidden inside, visible in deeds of beatitude. "
As my age shows in looks and inability, I feel very helpless
drowning in discontent and bitterness and trying to reason
I declare," We start aging on the exact moment we are born,
and our cry is the prophecy of doom carried out by events. "
While I'm living, I must write this name in stone,
despite the wealth and the happiness I was denied by cruel fate;
I honored friendship, I loved everyone: why should I be so irate...
if life's simple pleasures are lived and never gone?
Only those who have suffered despair can
savor life’s highest delight: Respite from trying times.
like dew in the desert, warm light in cold nights,
like sight to the blind and sound to the deaf,
no mortal earthly joy can ever surpass it.
For life is fleeting, with a hundred years of daylight
hiding a thousand years of anxiety, only fools lust
after power and trifles. But the wise—weary souls
seasoned by dreary attrition—yearn only
for the soothing serenity of the scenic hills,
of the valleys, groves, gorges and prairie fields.
To sit under the shades and feel the cool breeze
across their faces, to recline under moonglow
upon a sandy beach, without a care in the world,
drifting through the years immersed in simple pleasures.
Know this: Eden is contentment.

Ethereal harpist
my soul you caress
infusing my tune
with a sweet happiness.
Gently you pluck
at the strings of my heart
giving my song
a new meaningful part.
I seek you in darkness
beyond what is real
and cling to the ways
your soft touch makes me feel.
I hold to you tightly
and wait for the night
where fantasy reigns
over all that is right.
I dream of the comfortable
warmth of your arms
enchanted by trinkets
of heartwarming charms.
Words on a page
cutting right to my soul
filling my emptiness
making me whole.
Each of your words
like a soft gentle kiss
remind me of life's
simple pleasures I miss
In such sweet surrender
with you I could live
for you know not to take
till I'm begging to give.
Ethereal harpist
caressing my soul
playing my heart
to the measure of whole
A lifetime of emptiness
left for to deem
to wake up and find
you are only a dream.
