SIMPLE PLEASURES <br />Ah the simple pleasures of being alive <br />The most unnoticed things that help us thrive <br />The sound of running tap and doorbell that rings <br />The tinkering of chimes and birds that sing <br />The dawn accompanied with aroma of tea <br />The playful day light from under the shades that peak <br />The gentle flow of the breath of family around <br />Making me realize am not alone love surrounds <br />That bang of the newspaper tossed outside <br />Milk packets in a row carefully perched besides <br />All signs that life is moving afresh <br />After a night of rest everything is refreshed <br />The jingle of keys as the car wash guy comes <br />I can see some particles dancing as in streams the sun <br />There is complete hustle bustle as each one gets ready <br />The orchestra in the kitchen or a bathroom singer singing steady <br />These voices, these noises are music to me <br />For I realize it's a new day it's beauty I see <br />As I leave home I see so many faces around <br />Smiling, nodding greetings oh these familiar sounds <br />Somewhere near by the sparrows chirp with glee <br />I know like I know it, a lovely day it shall be <br />Ah the simple pleasures of being alive <br />These unnoticed things that help us to thrive <br /> <br /> RIMA SHARDA <br /><br />Rima Sharda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/simple-pleasures-of-life/
