Simple Things

Morning sun lights up the sky
Feel the warm radiance upon your face
Open your arms toward the azure sky
Drift away on silver lined clouds
Take a deep breath of  fresh air
let it infuse your sense of smell
Open your eyes to the joys of nature
Feel the soft earth beneath your feet
Hear the whispers of the earth
Everything we have is borrowed
Once we leave we leave with nothing
what we worked hard to achieve
all will be left behind
Enjoy the simplistic things of life
