It’s the simple things, like the scent of a crayon,
that take me back to what I used to know–
the mourning dove’s echoing in my bedroom,
the sun’s rays shining through my curtains
as I wake to the scent of freshly cut grass.

It’s the simple things, like the scent of a barbecue,
that remind me what truly matters–
living in the present moment,
holding my loved ones close, and
finding peace in the ordinary moments.
