The simple things often give the greatest pleasures,
simple things can be life's greatest treasures.
The beauty and complexity in a tiny flake of snow,
the multi colored rainbow reflected in a drop of dew.
Pretty colors of a butterfly, resting on a flower,
a busy buzzing bee, making honey in the morning hour.
The taste of a sugar candy so small and round and sweet,
the grainy feel of beach sand on your warm bare feet.
A rosebud as it opens its satin petals to the sun,
glowing orange sunlight embers when the day is done.
A puff of wispy cloud so fluffy, light and white,
the appearance of tiny jeweled stars at fall of night.
The milky whiteness and changing shadows on the moon,
a clear and cloudless azure sky at summer noon.
Splashing in a muddy puddle after a spring rain,
reading a favorite dog eared childhood book again.
The crunch of autumn leaves as they're trampled underfoot,
the beauty of a bright new day if you take the time to look.
You see such simple wondrous treasures as all these,
are in easy reach for everyone's pleasure and their ease.
