Simple Pleasures.


It’s the crack of a bat
The cheers after a homerun
And the good ol’ fun of a summer baseball game.
The wind blowing your hair
as the rise in temperatures allows you to roll your windows down.
A comforting smile from a stranger.
Opening the fridge to find
your favorite dessert just laying there.
The phone ringing and you look and see
your favorite person’s name appear on the screen.
Watching reruns of your favorite show.
It’s driving aimlessly when the perfect song comes on the radio
And bursting out the lyrics knowing quite well
that every car near you can hear.
The sun kissing your skin as the waves rock you back and forth.
The aroma of freshly baked cookies filling the air.
A book that takes you to another time and place.
Tears running down your face because of joy.
Glancing up into the mirror and knowing it’s going to be a great day
Than ending the day on your knees thanking God.
It’s waiting impatiently in line at the store and looking in
front of you to see a baby smiling at you in her mother’s arms.
And a welcoming bed after a long hard stressful day.
It’s the simple things that make life so special
