She liked the simple things in life -
The patter of the rain,
The sound of an infant’s tired sigh,
The ripples that appear when she softly blows her coffee,
The flipping of pages in a book,
The sound of smiles,
The look of love,
The feel of contentment,
The expression on her grandmother’s face when she shares something from her youth,
That glimmer of pure happiness in someone’s eyes when they talk about their passions.

She liked the simple things in life,
She liked the calm
And appreciated the quiet.
She liked the sensible
And respected the wise.

She liked the simple things in life,
But she loved the adventurous.
The extraordinary.
The unexpected.
