Simple Things

Life is full of small amazing moments Do you cherish these, or do you lament? Regret, sorrow and pain Will cause the soul to drain Look at the grass, so green and lush The bloom on the flower in blush The chirping sound of the wren Stop and listen now and then The warm sand beneath your toes The salt water in the sea that tickles your nose The obvious beauty and the lackluster as well Take the time, close your eyes and enjoy them all The simple things can have a big impact On all you do and what you attract Open your eyes and appreciate the small things Then sit back and enjoy what life brings

Susan, I like the way you engaged my senses of sight, sound, and touch with your verses. Plus the verses to allow a person to close then open their eyes is a very smooth way for both an appreciative inward and outward experience!. Sanford

This poem is delightfully sage advice. After a long day, I needed this one. "The simple things can have a big impact On all you do and what you attract" . Great job, my friend! Great poem!
