I love it when the snow falls slow and heavy
So you can picture that time stands still
And they’ll never touch the earth.
I love it when a snail passes by
Moving steady and slow
With a trail that shimmers
With all the colors of the rainbow.
I love it when laundry is fresh from the dryer
Smelling so clean and warm
Never failing to make me want to sleep.
I love it when someone laughs at a joke
And genuinely thinks it is funny.
I love it when a cup of tea is bitter and sweet
With just the right amount of honey.
I love it when a dog I’ve never met
Looks perfectly content to prance and dance
Happy and free.
I love it when, early in Summer
The grass has never been cut
So it is so soft to step on.
I love it when watermelon is crisp
And cold
And wonderfully refreshing.
I love it when everything is quiet
And filled with tranquility
And when everything is loud
And filled with laughter.
I love all the little moments.
The ones that can leave without you knowing.
The ones that are so easy to forget.
So I hold on to them tight
While I still remember
Each smell
Each taste
Each mundane
Easy to forget
Moment of perfection.
