I’m so happy sitting with my mom here. We cuddle on the steps by our front door. Our cat is here too bringing me such cheer and nearby is my bike that I adore. My clothes are hanging by our house so small right next to us on a tiny clothesline. My life is simple. I don’t mind at all. I love Mom’s cooking. Everything is fine. I wait for Daddy to come home to us and give a great big hug to Mom and me. I’m not ashamed that Daddy takes the bus. Each day all that I love I get to see. My simple life is filled with such delight I thank God every morning and each night.

reading your poem took me back in time to my childhood which was in many was an idyllic one. Times were simpler then, and I cherish the memories your poem awoke. Sara Etgen-Baker

My friend, how many of us long for the simpler life? Were we are happy and content with our family and friends. Your very fine poem illustrates that and for me was a true pleasure to read this morn. God bless..

So sweet ! I can feel in my heart the beauty of that simple life. With loving parents and a peaceful home, life will be far more sweet than being in a palace ! Well expressed dear Andrea and all the Best!
