Simple


Life, simple joys may not be 

Your cup of tea, but that’s the difference 

Between you and me 


Sitting on the porch, sipping coffee or wine 

Listening to the birds chirp, 

Well, that’s life divine


If you’re always rushing and wanting more

Keeping up with the Joneses

Having to make the better score

How will you ever learn to be?

In love with life, simple, and carefree


As I get older, I appreciate more

The things that truly matter

My family, good friends, good music

And not keeping score…

Family


Ties  that bind, 

Roots run deep 

Blood is definitely 

Thicker than water 


We may not always agree,

We may not always get along 

But we love each other 

And appreciate each other 

And our  get togethers speak volumes 

Of who we are and of 

Who our ancestors were 


We are lucky p, truly blessed 

We are a tribe 

We are the West
