The simple things
There’s pain ,sorrow , anger , and hate
All things we don't appreciate
There's smiles , joy , laughter and luck
All which we ignore and still feel stuck
Why can't we enjoy things that are simply right?
In all this darkness it's hard to see the light
Can't we see it's up to us to be truly happy?
Why be rude and have an attitude so snappy?
People walk by without a smile on their face
People live wanting their own space
Nobody walks past saying hello
Everybody minds their own while drinking their cup of joe
This world has no warmth , it's a problem we truly don't see
We know of religions and love so how could this be?
People seem to think of themselves before another
Maybe it's from the pain of abandonment left from their mother
I don't see why we can't live in peace
All this hate, i get it you just can't release
Is it because of the color of our skin or our choice of religion?
But you can't take a second to enjoy, not even a smidgen?
I had to make a point to express why these things make me so happy
Other wise it might come off too sappy
An old couple in the park bring tears of joy to my eye
When he still opens the door for her, what a heck of a guy
The bubbles that circulate when a fish swims by in a fish tank
Or whenever theres a successful prank
Christmas lights that are white
Their so pure and shine so bright
Weird nicknames that don't make sense
The clink-clank noise of a couple of cents
When people say “It’s gonna be okay“ when they know it's not
But still those kind words mean a lot
When a group of people sing together in synch
When little girls skip with arms in link
I don't like cheese but how long it takes for it to age perfectly makes me appreciate time
I like sour sweet so I enjoy the taste most can’t obtain of a lime
There's so many simple things I take pleasure in
It shows on my face always, way more than a grin.
