Deb M Poet Rhyme

Keeping It Simple

Simple and uncomplicated 

Is the way l want to live

Appreciating and savouring

All the beauty this life has to give
~~~

Avoiding overload and keeping stress at bay

Simply…. doing the best l can

Not over- committing or feeling overwhelmed

That is my life plan
~~~~

I now have the time and lifestyle to do that 

To make my choices and decisions that suit me

No longer answering to anyone

Free to enjoy life ‘my way’ being happy!
