A Simple Life

We woke up at our normal time,

we followed the same routine

Plain breakfast, nothing new,

Same as we had always been. 

We left the house, to the park

Where the children were at play

And the mothers gossiped on the benches

Just like any other day. 

This time we took the north path

but the difference was only slight

And so in small talk and small occurrences

The morning turned to night

Then a simple dinner, light wine

Reading or cards for a while

Then off to bed with a light kiss

And I drift to sleep with a smile

Because even if the day was normal

or below, I couldn't tell,

if you're here beside me, 

everything's just swell.
