Things I Love

Payday, cashing my check
Saturday night square dance
riding around; anywhere, nowhere.
Popping corn, renting a movie
afternoons sitting on the porch
conversation with good neighbors
these are things I love.

Sunday morning newspaper
little league baseball
second graders Shakespeare.
Singing favorite hymns in church
fresh cut grass and lemonade
walking hand in hand, heart in heart
these are things I love.

A kiss stolen out in public
smile filled with old secrets
shared glance across crowded room.
Warm, heavy coat in wintertime
bouquet of homegrown roses
holidays filled with family dinners
these are things I love.

Comfortable clothes decades soft
sweet grandchildren’s laughter
wet little puppy dog kisses.
Reaching out in the nights middle
feeling her soft and warm
smiling as sleep comes softly again
these are things I love.

this rings the bell for me too...Bravo Tramp...

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Tramp Poet, I would have to agree with the rest of the replies here. Great poem, and as much as you love all these things, I know you must be thankful too, and what greater time to display such thankfulness than now. Thanks for sharing here with us.
