So Little Means So Much

So Little Means So Much

Red and yellow leaves 
Carpet Brooklyn neighborhoods
Nature's broad brush stokes
Put Van Gogh to shame
Cats pose in windows
There's birdsong in the woods
And your pretty smile is
Bright as Autumn's flame

When one has so little
So little means so much
Worth more than 
A golden Midas touch
I'll never have riches and such
So when one has so little
So little means so much

Music in the morning
A small gift that delights
Laughter shared with friends
Timeless works of art
Sunny cloudless days and
Heavenly star filled nights
Your pretty smile always
Gladdens my heart 

When one has so little
So little means so much
Worth more than 
A golden Midas touch
I'll never have riches and such
So when one has so little
So little means so much

No point in wishing
For what might never be
Better to love
What's been given to me

Aha! Brooklyn! I thought, the minute I read your first piece, this gal is soooo hip. She has to be from, at least, Philly. Furthest I ever camped was Cincinnati, in the symphony. We did hit the east coast quite a bit on tour though. I'm slowly getting through your stuff. Loving it. Love, daver
