#WritcoPoemPrompt43
Write a poem on how to do something mundane most people take for granted, such as how to tie your shoes, how to turn on a lamp, how to pour a cup of coffee.

I sit by my window, watching the children who play outside
a smile paints my face as memories from young fill my mind
oh how I remember what it was like
playing in the grass all day with friends
and coming indoors to feast on mother's cooking
how much I've missed the smell of her cooking
the scent that always filled up our whole house

My eyes drift away from the happy children, settling on a group of teens
they make memories amongst themselves,
laughing at jokes and planning their times together,
oh how I remember my friend group,
we would laugh till our cheeks hurt,
and spend time together till no time was left,
memories of places we visited, risks we took
even the simple things like walking to school together,
even that is all but a distant memory in my head

a smile is still on my face,
only this time it's one of sadness,
I miss the times when my greatest fear was missing my test,
I miss the much simpler times with friends,
I miss the ignorance i had,
i miss my innocence before adulthood stole it from me

once again my wandering eyes drift to a young couple,
the man holding his beloved so tight,
while she stares at him, with her heart in her eyes,
the love from them seems pure,
it shines brightly that even I can see...
