Simple .

She longed for kind eyes filled with appreciation and arms stretched in love that hold and console . In a warm embrace head resting on a chest like a magical secret cubby hole . Smiling for no particular reason just at the sight of children laughing not a care in the world . She loved the simplistic joys of life . She didn’t need diamond rings she just needed to feel part of life . She thought how the world had got so much bigger and with subtle complexities and she could not remember when she got so small and cold . As she wrapped herself in her cardigan and her woollen bobble hat and closed the door behind her . She was definitely going to jump in the puddles that the rain had left . It’s a gift from nature and on she went .
