Goodbye Complexity
To cross the barrier of a complex character
To quiet simplicity.
The courage of a brave little flower,
Standing tall in icy snow;
A one-tooth babe chortling a morning smile
And giggling with delight;
Dew on my face as I take my place
With early strollers;
An easy chair and music’s fare
At the end of the day;
The smell of new mown grass as I pass
A kitty cat mewing at me.
Onions and bacon frying at twilight;
The smoke from a fresh grill light;
A little girl in an Easter dress prissing
So proud of big girl self;
To read a book in a leafy nook
Beneath afternoon cooling trees;
The smell of laundry dried on the line
On a spring windy day;
A pipe for you or maybe two
As we steal quietly away;
An endless list of simple joys
Will rest our weary way.

Remember the mud holes we always ran through,
and our secrets kept silent, our friendship was true.
Remember those nights we stared at the stars,
and always tried to guess how many there are.
Remember skipping class to go for a swim,
and had someone lie, saying I just saw them.
Remember football games, we were dressed in our suits,
prissing around, we thought we looked cute.
Remember twirl camp, we left campus one night,
and caught a cab downtown, that wasn't too bright.
Remember those days, I hope you do,
they were the best, if only back then we knew.
