All of us have them, those treasured favorite things.
They ease the stress that life often brings.
Fishing in the creek on a hot summer day,
watching the water shine and the trees sway.
The sweet taste of your favorite flavor of ice cream,
makes your worries seem nothing more than a dream.
That one song comes on while you’re riding in the car.
Problems that were so near now become so far.
We can’t forget the movie with that girl and guy
that is so good it always makes you cry.
What would life be if we didn’t have them around?
A smile would be tough, easy would be a frown.
So the next time one comes and brings joy to your day
Take a moment to soak it up before it quickly fades away.
