Joie de Vivre


an innocent smile
from a baby’s face


a warm hug
from a loved one


playing peek-a-boo
with dear daddy


a walk in the beach
on a lazy sunset


a few laps in the pool
on a beautiful sunrise


a hot coffee and a good book
on a cold winter night


watching kids
play hide and seek


 seeing a colorful butterfly
feasts on a lovely flower


listening to birds chirping 
hopping from branch to branch

ah, the simple joys of living
they are endless

you can’t count them
by your fingers


but deep in your heart
you know that simple things are
what make you happiest!
