At lunchtime I bought a huge orange —

The size of it made us all laugh.

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,

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 the jobs on my list

And enjoyed them and had some time over.
