Simple Things

Adores my heart simple things
Not sparkling diamonds nor golden rings
But a soft word said with a tear
A winter far, a warm fire near

Needs my body simple things
Not giant's legs nor eagle's wings
But resolve when times grow tough
When mere strength is not enough

Intrigues my mind simple things
Not drama and the pain it brings
But joys of life that pass us by
A misty rainbow, a firefly

Yearns my soul for simple things
Not hansom princes nor noble kings
But a pure character that endures
Immune to greed and lustful lures

Turns my world with simple things
Not war and the lives it stings
But a quiet song in the dark of night
A whispered poem under the moon's light
