Simple Things

It's the simple things that make life worthwhile
like Christmas morning for a young child
We have to get through each and every day
enjoying the simple things helps ease the way
The sweet smell of an beautiful rose
feeling squishy mud between your toes
The smell of coffee as you wake
enjoying the last piece of cake
Dog happy when you arrive home
love one calls you on the phone
Life has bad and life has good
we keep on living as we should
There will be times that get us down
burdens that ware us to the ground
But like a hug from your own sweet child
there will always be reasons to smile
The simple things both old and new
bless our lives and keeps us true
