A List of Great Things

People have a lot of things they find to be great,

Not everyone's the same, but we most definitely have some.

I just can't pick one, so I'll give a list,

Of everything I find to be awesome.

Like....

When you find your phone, after you misplaced it,

when your favorite show is off hiatus.

When you aced a final you thought you failed,

when you catch a shirt you like on sale.

When you finally beat a game you had for over a decade,

when a test is coming up, but instead you have a snow day.

When your favorite artist releases a new album,

the existence of Chris Hemsworth and Channing Tatum.

When you find money while walking down the street,

when you get a medal or two at a track meet.

When a reboot of a cartoon from your childhood is done right,

when you and some friends have a movie night.

When you catch the beginning of your favorite song on the radio,

when you have a family trip to Universal Studios in Orlando.

When you hear an awesome theme song,

and finally memorize it, so you can sing along.

When your grandma bakes Christmas cookies,

when you go to that one house on Halloween that gives out actual brand named goodies.

When you get to hang out with your family members,

"That tiny squeaking sound you get, when you rub two pickles together."

When someone catches on to an old Spongebob reference,

when you have pretty cool parents.

When you find out same-sex marriage is legal,

when a movie has an even better sequel.

When your favorite TV couple is officially canon,

when you get your first canine companion.

When you ask a guy to prom and he says yes,

when you finally beat your grandfather in a game of chess.

When you have a project you've always wanted to do, done,

when you're at a picnic, and there's an equal amount hot dogs and buns.

When you finally complete your comic/manga collection,

Lastly, that person you see in your reflection.
