 INSPIRATIONAL POEMS by Norma

The Simple Things


I enjoy looking at a rainbow or sunset
The ways of society hasn't changed me yet
I like to see rain drops falling in a stream
I like looking at clouds as I day dream
People and dogs are my specialty
They provide fun for me
When I take a child upon my knee,
I'm happy as I can be
You can have your fancy bars
Your yachts, and big cars
I'll take the simple things
No furs or diamond rings

The simple things, the simple things
Is the happiness that life brings
The simple things, are life's true way
The way to live every day
I like the feel of a nice cool breeze
As I go hiking through mountains and trees
I like fishing in a stream, trying to catch a trout
That's what life is really all about
Packing a lunch and going to the park
Looking at the moon when it is dark
Showing love for the older folks
Singing songs and telling clean jokes

Listening to birds sing, children play
Flowers blooming, smell fresh mowed hay
These are the simple things that I love
And give thanks to the creator above
These are things to us He gave
These are the things that I crave.
I may see life from a different view
Than some other people do
But I think you might find
It will relax your heart and mind
If you enjoy the simple things on this earth
And appreciate its great worth
