AS SIMPLE AS

What would you really wish for,

If wishes were real?
To shed hope amongst the people,
and this world of ours to heal
Give dreams to all believers
and light in every day
Guide us, who have forgotten,
and show them all the way..

Forget about possessions,
As they can implant greed
Could be something just as simple,
As a tree, a plant or seed
To give hope, to nourish and to show
That with a tender love
A garden will surely grow..

It is the same with humans,
we really need to see
That beauty from within
is purest in majesty
The outside will age and fade
and forever be no more
Our heart it gathers love
and inside it will store..

The meaning of life
and how we need to live
To share and to teach,
to love and always give
The trappings of existence
can often bring us pain
Too much in the wanting
with nothing to be gained..

Will leave us feeling empty
and ultimately all alone
If we are left misguided
and never really shown
That what we seek
is in our heart
And all we need to do,
is silently play our part..

Simple is better for all to see
Simple is as clear as charity
Six little letters form the word
To help us hear, and to be heard..

"I wish that life was simple" I have often said
These words that are caught within my head
But simple will not happen with greed and hate
We have to begin to change, before it is too late..
