The Simple Things

by

Norma Jean Duncan

I enjoy looking at a rainbow or sunset, the ways of society hasn't changed me yet.
I like to see rain drops falling in a stream, I like looking at clouds, as I day dream.
People and dogs are my specialty, they provide fun for me.
When I take a child upon my knee, I'm happy as I can be.
You can have your fancy bars, yachts and big cars,
I'll take the simple things, no furs or diamond rings.

The simple things, the simple things, is the happiness, that life brings.
The simple things, are life's true way, the way to live every day.
I like the feel of a nice cool breeze, as I go hiking through mountains and trees.
I like fishing in a stream, trying to catch a trout, that's what life is all about.
Packing a lunch and going to the park, looking at the moon when it is dark.
Showing love for the older folks, singing songs, and telling clean jokes.

Listening to birds sing, children play, see flowers blooming, smell fresh mowed hay.
These are the simple things that I love, and give thanks to the creator above.
These are things to us He gave, and these are things I crave.
I may see life from a different view, than some other people do,
But I thing you might find, it will relax your heart, and mind,
If you enjoy the simple things on this great Earth and appreciate it's worth.
