THE SIMPLEST THINGS - by Lauren Eise Combs

THE  SIMPLEST  THINGS       by  Lauren Eise Combs It's the simplest things That make life worthwhile, Sunlight on water A baby's smile. A robin's bright song At the start of the day, The sweet, clean aroma Of freshly mown hay. A breeze in the tree tops That whispers and sighs, Cold, brilliant starlight In dark winter skies. Crisp apple cider On an October morn, A mourning dove's call Sad and forlorn. Rain gently falling On dry thirsty land, A friend who will listen And then understand. A soft sandy beach Stretching mile after mile, It's the simplest things That make life worthwhile.
