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.
.
Signed,
To try and understand
