At lunchtime I bought a huge orange —

The size of it made us all laugh.
大得令我们全都发笑。
I peeled and shared it with Robert and Dave —
我剥了皮,跟罗伯特和戴维分着吃
They got quarters and I had a half.
他俩各吃四分之一,我吃了一半。
And that orange, it made me so happy,
那个桔子,真是让我开心
As ordinary things often do

Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
平凡的事情。购物。在公园散步。
This is peace and contentment. It’s new.
这便是平静和满足。但很新鲜。
The rest of the day was quite easy.

I did all the jobs on my list

And enjoyed them and had some time over.

I love you. I’m glad I exist.
