The Orange
At lunchtime I bought a huge Orange
The size of it made us laugh
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave -
They got quarters and I got half.
And that orange, it made me so happy
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
This is peace and contentment. Its new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I'm glad I exist.
Anne, it's cheered me up, too! Thank you.

If you write to me on that one, I'll reply and let you have the other one which I look at the most. It would be nice to be in touch that way. Buon weekend.
Dont know how but i missed this one.....I love poems and sayings remember all the little books you have sent me , remember Dare to belive.. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Anne - this is a smashing poem. Not least because my two adult sons are called Robert and Dave - sweet memories of their childhood. I found you via Sicily Scene - I'll be back!

ReplyDeleteHusband, lover friend.

i feel the warmth of your embrace your every touch makes my heart race.
each year we share gets better still your voice your smile, give me a thrill.
When times are hard we'll pull together your hand in mine through stormy weather.
We know life will not be all bliss but tears can vanish with a kiss.
