A Simple Man

If I were to say I was a holy man, I would be a liar. If I were to say I was brave, I'd tremble behind my words. If I tried to count the stars above my head, I'd be too great a task. I am just a simple man, A simple man with no purpose but to love.

To be a simple man with an uncomplicated life seems almost like a dream. It is said that a man can not be truly happy until he is satisfied with less. Another excellent poem.
