Sometimes,
\nit\u2019s as simple as a walk to the library
\nin sunshine
\nto pick up a few books
\nmy valued treasures
\nand then a stop in at the museum
\nwith a feature on fashions
\nthat lures me in
\nas I wander
\nquietly
\nwith a smile
\ntaking it all in
\nreally wanting
\nto touch
\nit\u2019s as simple as the glorious morning
\nsunshine
\npeering in my window
\nand a lovely warm breeze playing with the cedars
\nmaking the shadows dance on my face
\nwhile I read
\nit\u2019s as simple as slipping on some boots
\nand stepping out
\nto the dancing dripping droplets of water
\njoyfully splashing themselves into puddles
\naround my feet
\nformerly snow and ice from the roof that too
\nhas been encouraged by the sun
\nto celebrate
\nthis day
\nit\u2019s as simple as the tiniest little peep
\nof the chickadee
\ngraciously perched nearby
\nas I fill the feeder
\nit\u2019s as simple as a walk to the pond
\nstill covered in ice
\nyet with one small hole where bubbles cunningly
\nmake their escape
\nstopping here to breathe this in
\nI almost hear the gentle whispers
\njust below the surface
\nof \u00a0‘soon\u2026\u00a0 soon enough, \u00a0\u00a0the magic
\nawaits’
\nit\u2019s as simple as sitting with my daughters
\nsharing stories and fits of
\nlaughter
\nthe coming home
\nof my second son
\nfrom school
\nand now
\nmy house feels full
\nand my heart
\nrestored<\/p>\n
often
\nit\u2019s as simple as a smile in the morning
\nand a kiss goodbye
\na kind thought, laughter
\nand a love shared<\/p>\n
and then<\/p>\n
sometimes,
\nit\u2019s as simple as
\na walk outside
\na beautiful warming smile
\nup into\u00a0the sun
\nand then slowly
\nand gently
\nsettling your eyes
