The Simple Things In Life

by Shaun Cronick   Jul 7, 2022


It's the simple things in life,
That make the world go round.
Raptly recalling a lost thought,
For a story that will astound.

The falling of an autumn leaf,
That so slowly spirals down.
Or your first taste of ice-cream,
The one called chocolate brown.

The bright colours of a rainbow,
That arc across the land.
Or completing a majestic castle,
On sunny seaside sand.

The viewing of a raindrop as it,
Runs down your window pane.
Quickly chased by many others,
On and on and forever again.

Feeling so overjoyed for finding,
That lucky four-leaf clover.
Being entranced at saucepan milk,
Rise up and then spill over.

For to view life's simple things,
There lies a simple choice.
We can choose to ignore them,
Or enjoy and give them voice.
