Notes About The Poem

Simplicity

Simplicity in life, reduces stress
Icicles hang upon the heart
Of those who are plighted 
With desserts spelled backwards 
With no end in sight

Choose simplicity in life
As along those well-traveled roads
You have to pass
A Cadillac is no better than other cars
Nor of people Gucci dressed

A meal can be soup and sandwich
You get what you need
Add some fruit for dessert
It is bound to fit what your food
Allowance entails

Living in the fast lane
Doesn't have to be your fate
Try to make a left turn
And find saving Grace
A small town, out of the way place

Look for ease in living
A calm home to come to
At the end of the day
Say Grace at the table
Have room for Him in your heart

Sam Scott January 15, 2024 at 9:56 AM Last year I chose a 'word' for the year and that was Simplicity, so I loved this greatly. It's true. What I found appreciating the simple things of life did, was to raise a new level of appreciation; friendship, small gestures of kindness, eating well, loving well all came into focus. Sara, your poem is a great, simply beautiful, message for a complicated modern world, we should strive to hear it x (fav) Sara Kendrick January 15, 2024 at 1:18 PM Why, thank you, Sam. I appreciate the kind review of my work. I am honored that you find it worthy to be in your favs. Sara K
