All of us have them, those treasured favorite things.
They ease away the stress that life often brings.
Like fishing in the creek on a hot summer day,
watching the water shine and the trees sway.
Or the sweet taste of your favorite flavor of ice cream,
makes your worries seem nothing more than a dream.
Don’t forget that one song that comes on often while you’re riding in the car.
Problems that you thought so near now become so far.
We can’t leave out 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.
