I agree. I like playing my own pieces of music on the piano. They are simple pieces of music, but they tell a story that even children can enjoy. It is another kind of art through which God expresses him/herself very much. Love and blessings, Caroline.

The security that she had was what she had to offer from within...Her faith and strenght made everyone else feel secure..Thanks for stopping by with the kind review..Sara

She did indeed, and how I hope to keep these "3 easy pieces" in mind-- thank you for the reminder-- I guess sometimes with all the hustle & bustle, we really neglect to see the simple things in life-- thank you for sharing your blind date with me-- that must have been such an awful time --tsk tsk for those cold hands though, she didn't know what she was missing! her loss ;) hugs your way!

Progress and technology do seem to have reduced our capacity to enjoy life at times. It would be wonderful to feel the love, comfort and security we had as children. I'm a pretty simple gal, Daver, so this wonderful poem is special to me! Love, Carolyn

beautiful expressions on the easy pieces love, comfort and security but difficult to put into action, daver. Nice character sketch of your grandma,
