Crunch….crunch….
Woosh….woosh….
The wind gusts as I gently push
The gravel underneath my feet
As I swagger down the street.
Not a thought
Goes through my mind
When I see the children go down the slide.
I come across people who smile
And make the walk all worthwhile.
The sounds of nature linger on
And the sounds of my feet still pitter-patter.
To their homes, the children scatter
Greeting their families with smiles at the door.
The kind of love that we all long for.
As the sun begins to fade from sight,
The sky is painted with colors of light.
I pause a moment and simply breathe,
Taking in the peace that surrounds me.
Then I turn and make my way,
Thankful for the beauty found in an ordinary day.
