Little Pleasures
We plan.
We work.
We save.
We dream.
But, life is seldom as it seems.
A germ,
a gene,
a wayward act
can throw perceptions off their track.
A hug,
a kiss,
a tender word
can let us know we’re not alone.
Life is life.
So, on we go
not so sure of what’s in store.
But, fearing less that great unknown.
Enjoying “little” more.
We plan.
We work.
We save.
We dream.
But, life is seldom as it seems.
A germ,
a gene,
a wayward act
can throw perceptions off their track.
A hug,
a kiss,
a tender word
can let us know we’re not alone.
Life is life.
So, on we go
not so sure of what’s in store.
But, fearing less that great unknown.
Enjoying “little” more.
