A happy thought,
A quiet walk,
A restful pause,
A candid talk.
A social night,
A laugh out loud,
A mutual friend,
A gap in the crowd.
A good book,
A favourite meal,
A restful nap,
A bargain deal.
Simple little things
that come our way.
Simple little things
that make our day.
We can appreciate
what we’ve got.
We can be happy
with our lot.
As long as we
are aware,
that we really
needn’t care…
About things we lack,
and things we dread.
And avoid negative thoughts
in our heads.
As long as we
are aware,
that we really
should care…
About the people we love,
and people in need.
About doing what’s right,
and doing good deeds.
Simple little things
that help us cope.
Simple little things
that bring us hope.
Appreciate the little things
that come our way.
And remember to cherish
each and every day.
The best gifts we have
are love and time.
A life well lived
is truly sublime.
Life need not be filled
with accolades and aclaim,
It need not be a life of
excessive wealth and fame.
What makes us rich are
the simple little things,
that bring us joy
and make our hearts sing.
Simple little things.
