Sybaritic ... Enjoy

Today's word is "sybaritic" ... sib-uh-RIT-ik ... pertaining to or characteristic of a sybarite; characterized by or loving luxury or sensuous pleasure. (Dictionary.com)

Enjoy
A bar of chocolate, deep and dark,

A fuzzy robe, soft rabbit white,
Coffee smooth with melodious note,
Fireside's soothing, warming light.

A bath with bubbles piled high,

Music wafting through the air,
The sybaritic life is fine,
For those who flaunt a monied flair.

But there's a baby's wondering gaze,

A kiss of love, a hug, a sigh,
Faith in more than man's delights,
And mysteries of the earth and sky.

All these things engage and cheer,

Although they cost not dollar one,
And may be enjoyed by all,
With thanks to God, when day is done.
