Simple Things

 

 

Don't miss the smallest rainbow

which crowns that rainy day,

For like the daily sunset,

it quickly fades away.

 

Hear the music of the sea

upon the rocks below,

And listen to the nightingale

when summer breezes blow.

 

Watch the turning of the leaves,

and you can be my guest,

To watch the sermon of the trees

when every heart is blest.

 

Come, catch some falling snowflakes

beside a country lane

Where we can make a snowman

with derby hat and cane.

 

Life's too short if you're too busy

to do these simple things -

So don't overlook that rainbow

and puppy dogs and swings!
