Ordinary Pleasures

 

When life is heavy and

Breathing seems hard

                                I wish you a day of

                Ordinary pleasures,

 

A cup of coffee that you didn’t have to make,

                                A windshield already scraped,

                Traffic that is nonexistent,

A day without complaints and

                                A kind word from a stranger.

 

                You deserve a lingering kiss on your lips,

Twinkling eyes and smile just for you,

                                Arms to wrap around you and

A night full of sighs and throaty giggles

                With secrets just for two.

 

When life kicks you the hardest,

                                I wish you a perfect day of

                Ordinary pleasures.

That was very beautiful and thoughtful. Just some of the wonders that we take for granted that make us happy and surround us all the time, if we are lucky. I especially liked "You deserve a lingering kiss on your lips,Twinkling eyes and smile just for you, Arms to wrap around you andA night full of sighs and throaty giggles With secrets just for two"

Very nice, my large hearted wifey!

Ordinary pleasures.......yes I agree......Should be labelled "ordinary luxuries". We appreciate them so much more as we get older and by expressing your feelings of suchlikes... you have proven this here. Thanks Honey.

There is nothing more beautiful than the true face of daily life.
In the simplest of things we'd find joy amongst life's troubles.

You shared with us an uplifting poem of hope and sweet wishes.
Thank you Honey. :)

Simple yet so meaningful. We could all use this poem to cheer us up when things get too much. And they always do at some time or another don't they. Well written. Good.

Such sweet and uplifting sentiments, it are those simple little things in life that can make your day and the love of those close to you.

Oh, this is just what wee all need to have some times. It makes me feel all war and cuddly like a stuffed animal. Come to think of it, that's what I am!

this was wonderful. You know the best things in life are all those sweet little ordinary pleasures. This was a fantastic piece. Very nicely written and well expressed.
