The Simple Things

The smell of fresh cut grass
Reflections of childhood 
Oh how the time does pass 
It's the simple things in life that mean the most 
Blue skies, corn fields, a freight train heading to the coast 
A free car wash from a surprise summer storm 
Watching a short story or poem take form 
It's the simple things  in life that bring us bliss 
A cracking fire, lightning bugs, a salty kiss
The simple things are there right before your eyes 
Just take a moment to look around and you'll realize 
That it's the simple things in life that make us smile 
All to remind us that the journey is worthwhile
