the smell of fresh cut grass Reflections of childhood, oh how the time does pass It's the simple things in life that mean the most Blue skies, corn fields, a freight train heading to the coast A free car wash from a surprise summer storm Watching a short story or poem take form It's the simple things that bring us bliss A crackling fire, lightning bugs, a salty kiss The simple things are there right before your eyes Just take a moment to look around and you'll realize That it's the simple things in life that make us smile All to remind us that the journey is worthwhile
