Simple Pleasures
We all have days that bring us down
Ones that cause us to wear a frown
This is a part of life and growing up -
Learning to face the world’s hiccups.
To overcome sadness, anger, or dread
You have to force yourself out of bed
Find what makes you feel joy and peace
And all negative emotions are sure to cease
I personally love a freshly made bed,
And a nice, hot shower, leaving skin red
A cup of coffee warms my heart
And those are just a few to start
Spending time with beloved friends
With who fun and laughing never ends
Is a great way to improve your mood
And get rid of a negative attitude
Serving others adds to the soul
And gives back to the community as a whole
Whether you volunteer, donate, or simply smile
It always pays to go the extra mile
Sometimes, a treat is an absolute must
Ice cream, cookie dough, in cravings we trust
Any kind of dessert helps to make life sweet
And ensures that the bad times are definitely beat
Cuddling with pets is a surefire way
To add color to a black and white day
Man’s best friend never fails to assist
when you are unexplainably pissed
Finally, my mother always knows best
And helps my feel much less stressed
I can talk to her about anything I need
And she gives great advice at an amazing speed
Basically, anything can make you feel good
It just takes practice, as anything would
Simple pleasures are often at the top
Of things to make a bad day stop.
