The simple pleasure of a child's refrigerator art.
Hot water. Running water. Cold water from a well.
Enough to pay the bills, or knowing how to spell.
Fluffy pillows there on which to lay your head.
Things we take for granted, so often understated.
Like sanity! Another thing that's never overrated.
Once in awhile I have to take some time away
from all the pressures and routine. You may
not understand, but there's no need for that at all.
Just let me go a bit, and I'll return. If I'm delayed, I'll call.
When I'm back, you'll notice that I'm smiling more,
and calmer, sweeter, kinder, than I was before.
