It's time to think of simple things
like apple cores and onion rings;
Strolling barefoot on the beach
a juicy pear,just out of reach
Like tiny trees that soon will grow
an empty field that's white with snow;
A flock of slowly grazing sheep
a tiny babe that's gone to sleep
A bird, a flower, a falling star
a bicycle and a noisy car;
Gardens wrapped in morning dew
a puppy playing with a shoe
Rain falling softly on the trees
a nest of busy honey bees;
A bathtub filled up to the top
shining floors and a dirty mop
Homemade soup bubbling in a pan
the insistent tug of a small child's hand;
The dog that barks as the doorbell rings
these are all life's simplest things
