Poem of the Week LXIV

This is a beautiful poem. Enjoy.

The Orange
Wendy Cope

At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave--
They got quarters and I had a half.

And the orange it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park
This is peace and contentment. It's new.

The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all my jobs on my list
And I enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I'm glad I exist.
