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!
