The Simple Things

It's the constants in our life that we usually take for granted.
It's the need to have more, want more, want better
That can make us lose focus on the simple things in life.
The simple things....

I look around at the sky above me;
The beauty of the colors that seem to hold
it together.
I see the small shiny dots that are said to be quite large
And hear the crickets playing their sweet music.

These are the simple things I have never taken for granted.
Out of everything in my life, that is what I never took for granted.
It amazes me that I have overlooked everything else
as this, in a selfish way, keeps me reminded to breathe...
to live.
