What a Wonderful World

Here I sit in quiet contemplation of life’s great rewards.
A sunny day,
A rainy day.
The sound of children playing.
The twang of an acoustic guitar or the shrill melody of a violin.
Silence.
A day at the beach.
The noise of new falling snow.
A friends smile.
A Handshake.
A first kiss.
Having a child.
Making the 8 ball on the break.
Making a new friend.
Banana Cream Pie.
Experiencing something new.
Making love, not having sex.
Eating something that you've helped to create.
Cooking for someone you love.
Watching the sun set.
Watching the moon rise.
Looking into a lovers eyes.
A lover looking back at you with the same love.
Holding hands.
Grinding Pepper.
Talking to your best friend.
The list is endless.
As I sit here in quiet contemplation of all these things.
I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
Thanks Louis.
