strolling the avenue of simple pleasures
an apple fell to the ground
i picked it up and ate it
and i smiled

feeling refreshed, i picked up the pace
nearly missed the shadow below
it flittered and fluttered and fell with grace
and i smiled

lightened by the dance with the shadow of a leaf
waves of peace emanated forth
a child laughed in the lot across the way
and i smiled

i looked toward the sky and heard the song
angels' gentle breeze touched my core
i hummed a few notes in unison with all
and i smiled

love was watching, sending soothing grace
perfect moments in the walk of my dreams
connected in peace, sharing sweet hope
and we smiled
