The smile in his face
Any smile
And of course mine
The touch of my body
Every morning I wake up
When I realize
I am still alive
My child’s laughter
His hug
His face while he sleeps
My house tidy
When clean and tidy
But also
The untidiness he brings
My lover’s dream
Which is mine
And all he gives
And I give to him
And of course
That cup of coffee
Better with a cig!

I have just completed The Simple Things Challenge. It’s a celebration of all the simple pleasures in life with the added BONUS of helping those who are now struggling in Haiti. For every list, poem or prose piece on this subject, Enchanted Oak and her family will donate $2 to Heartline Ministries’ medical clinic and program in Haiti. Interested? Visit Enchanted Oak and be prepared to post before midnight Sunday (PST). It’s simple!

That is so touching. I love your other blogs. I checked them all out and am following them all. Have a wonderful Sunday. I got the whole day to myself because the hubby is playing SuperBowl with his friends. We don't do sports, but Super Bowl is more like a party to him. LOL It's Dolly time for me. woo woo
Hooray for you, Dulce! This was a wonderful little celebration of some mighty huge blessings. Thank you for being part of my day and my benefit for Heartline in Haiti. I love the things you mention. I'm amazed at how many people really cherish that cup of coffee. Such a small, wonderful thing....

Great way to do the simple things. I haven't smoked in over 20 years and I would still love to have one.

My dear Dulce....excellent. You painted a beautiful picture of your simple things that bring you happiness [I too love those cigs!]
Thanks for the invite and glad you stopped by.
Madame Dulce,
Your simple things are lovely, just as you are...but, nurse that I am, I wish you'd have your coffee without a cigarette. I can be a nagging 65-year-old and I hope you'll love me anyway.
lovely...the simple things and the way you express them...wonderful! hope you have a great sunday!
LOVE it! Simply beautiful!
Sweet except for the cig part!
Give them up, dear Dulce!

Gosh, Dulce, do you still smoke? Oh well, someone has to do the dirty work for the economy--grin!
Only a mother could write like you about your son...and your start of the day. Simple, a coffee, a smoke, some time with your boy, and...it's off to work we go.....
Great big hug, Friend!
Simply divine. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh, yes! Life is so beautiful with those simple pleasures! I loved the tidyness and untidyness - looks like my home! ;)
I love simple things, since I am a very complicated mind:P
One big kiss, ¡¡muackkk!!
beautiful, adorable life. :)
All wonderful things, including the poem!

Son esas pequeñas cosas las que enriquecen nuestras vidas. Precioso amiga mía. Un besito, pequeño, pero de corazón!!!
Thank you my sweet friends for your lovely comments.
I am pleased to see my dear sweet Steve coming by my place again.

Hugs to you all!

Your work is so well done, it constantly makes me ask myself why I could never appreciate any poetry in high school. Maybe it was the distraction of the boys...
Now I know how to handle them,and I can enjoy the literature.

everything seems like a finger snap with you; words, life, lighting a cigarette. Damn, Girl, I think that's how it's supposed to be. I haven't got the leaks fixed or the charts yet but I'm workin on it. ~rick
