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…
