Behind me and surprise me with a hug, or
To chat with me about the happenings of
My day.
Hence, I must create my own little perks to
Bring joy into my solo life,
Small delights like completing a crossword
Puzzle without cheating, or
Delving into a new book.
On a day like this one it's kicking back in
My recliner,
Sipping a cup of coffee and finishing off the
Last tiny piece of my granddaughter's
Birthday cake savoring the sweet flavor.
It's collecting my scattered thoughts so that
I can write them down, none of them at all
Profound,
But composing even a simple humble poem
Gives me pleasure.
