A Friday Poem

I'm a very lucky person. I get to start my weekends on Thursday night. So Friday always feels like Saturday to me. A slow, pajama-clad day, baking brownies and watching cartoons with my three year-old son. There's not much else I'd rather be doing right now, except maybe sleeping. It's only fitting I should read a nice, content poem today. Not unrequited love, no sorrow, no big questions about life. Thank you, William Carlos Williams, for this lovely, simple, wonderful poem I enjoy reading again and again. Here's someone who understands the simple pleasures of life, our reason for, in my opinion, for existence.
