Simple Things

The simple things in life are usually the best,

When sinful people put you in a predicament and a test;

Like the birds and the bees and the life of the trees,

Are all so enjoyable and free, fascinating and amazing to me.

.

Simple things are easy and provide much pleasure and joy,

Which fill our minds with wonder for one another to employ;

We think about creation and just how complex it can be,

But the simple things in life are really the answer for you and me.

.

Now money comes and goes and time is always on our side,

If we put our faith in God and our hearts in him reside;

For the beauty of the plenty to all who live on earth for free,

Is like the sun shining all its brilliance on simple ones like me.

.

So the best thing you can accomplish is to understand the truth,

Like the simple things that polish can highlight and proclaim as proof;

For now we go on living with all the simple things that count,

And it is just a matter of where to stop and how much they will amount.

.

I am giving thanks continually to God for all I've got,

Which really adds up considerably with all my books my lot;

As the fashion is with people so are the simple things of God,

And the love that is in living definitely free and not odd.

.

Well I have to know the difference between the rich and poor,

And that all that I can take in life is the torment to endure;

But with the simple things I have and see and watch and hear,

In the closeness of the deep dark days in death do I draw near.
