The Simple Things

To Whom It May Concern:

Gather around

Listen and learn

To these things you need to know about life

Before your soul takes flight

Life is short

We live

We love

We die

All the while, time flies by

Its no mistake to know

The plans your future holds

Your dreams

Your hopes

Soon to be mere memories

Tick

Tock

The clock makes its rounds

Counting until time is up

Rather it is counting down

To a final destination

A climax

A peak

To everyone your dreams may seem bleak

But you

Yourself and only yourself

Can make them come true

Live

Laugh

Love

Words we were raised to live by

To live within the simple things

Before we die

To live

Means nothing more than to be yourself

To follow your dreams

To achieve your goals

Not to set them on a shelf

As difficult as it may seem

Your life will begin to unfold

Be yourself

Dont conform

Open your eyes to see

That you arent someone else, but more

Be who YOU want to be

Go where You want to go

See what YOU wish to see

To laugh

It is not simple to be happy

Or be glad

Or even to smile

This word can not be put simply

It doesnt mean to be sad or mad

It means to enjoy lifes greatest file

The world is built on little things

Raindrops

Air

Light

Enjoy them

These things could go away overnight

Be happy, joyful, ecstatic, charismatic

About life, the future, the present

This is not problematic

Enjoy what has been sent

Given

Taken

All these things happens for a reason

Everything in life has its own given season

Simply enjoy the little things

Focus on things that make you happy

Proud

Laugh

Smile

Bask in these good things for a while

To love

No matter if you are a family or friend

Follow this to the end

It is the first gift of life

We love our fathers and mothhers

At the moment we first saw light

Yes, things change as we go farther in life

We learn to love new people

Family members

Teachers

Coworkers

And then theres that one

The person who makes your heart run

Beat faster

Flutter

Skip a beat

Its amazing how two people can meet

Loving eachother is the best thing you can do

Unconditionally

Unrelentingly

Passionately

In everything you go through

This life is too short for hatred

For anger

For war

For blood

And for tears

With that, I leave you with this

Live

Laugh

Love

Until the end of your years

Sincerely Yours
