THE SMALL WONDERFUL THINGS IN LIFE...

Why bother with  more than the
small wonderful things in life?
Why bother with the monstrosities,
the life lacking enormities of strife..

Zero in on the beautiful child
that has just learned to smile..
Or your brother or sister
who just ran an extra mile..

How about the twinkle in
your grandfather's eye..
As he looks at your grandmother,
Recalling  the years
together in this life..

No my friend, it is the sweet
first touch of a raindrop,
 before a sweet summer rain..
Fresh cut flowers on the
table, so simple and plain..

White fluffy clouds dancing
effortlessly  in the sky..
As you lay in a meadow,
Watching them pass by..

So next time a person or life's
pressures get you down..
Always look at the beautiful side of life ..
Its just beyond your doorstep,
Yes, so easily  found..

Get back to the simple pleasures
that don't cost a dime..
The small wonderful things
that give us joy and happiness in life...
