I am not a “preachy” person per say, but I have very strong feelings about my faith, and one day I was thinking about the way I feel about life, and it inspired me to write this poem. I hope you enjoy it!

The Simple Joys

Where are you, Oh God, I ask

Are you here, or there, or where

I am always here, my child, He says lovingly

Cast on me all of your cares

You wander around from day to day

With so much to do

No wonder, you’ve lost your way

Remember the simple things

You don’t need diamond rings

All you need is the warm sunshine

To make you feel just fine

A kindly word from a friend

A loving smile to warm your heart

A listening ear to lend

From these do not part

Fill your days with simple joys

Forget all the expensive toys

Look for the lasting treasure

The treasure of simple living

There you will find joy without measure
