SIMPLE THINGS

we should dance below the full moon
softly humming a 30's tune
feel dewy grass between our toes
wish upon stars for our friends and foes
take time to smell the flowers
forget days don't have enough hours
open our windows breathe in the air
walk in the raindrops without a care
kiss the one you love with meaning
embrace yellow sun rays beaming
write music put your soul into words
close your eyes listen for chirping birds
play in the leaves hide behind trees
remember those gone are with you in the breeze
happiness comes with simple things
not money, not cars, not diamond rings

About this poem:
its all about the simple things in life...we take them for granted too much too often:( i dont think its our fault, we just get caught up in the craziness of it all.
