simple joy

compliment the morning 
before your feet touch the ground
wait on the coffee...
finish singing your song
before you turn off the shower
stop and smell the flowers...
let the wax run over
before you blow out the candle
make believe with the clouds...
go ahead and eat your taco bell
before you put up the fine china
dance with your kid in the kitchen...
clean the mirror
before covering blemishes that don't exist
bask in the sun ...
turn on the light
before looking for matching socks
try m&m's in your popcorn...
genuinely smile
before you greet an enemy
walk bare foot in the grass...
pause
before you speak
take 10 minutes to just dream...
wash hands
before you shake
finger paint a wall...
talk to God
before you sleep
thank your Daddy for simplicity...
