The Simple Things

by =kazumisangel

It’s all about the simple things, really
That’s how it’s always been before
Who needs anything complicated for happiness?
When simplicity brings so much more

I want a home in which to sleep and stay
Something with a roof would be neat
And so that I could stay alive for a bit,
It would be nice to have food to eat

As for the other things, I only need a couple
I need my books, of course, and music, too
And an endless supply of paper and pens
Then I’ll never run out of fun things to do

The key ingredient, though, is friends
And everything that that friendship brings
Who could ever need more than that?
Happiness comes in the simplest things.

To be that simple

Innocent smiles,
Childish giggles,
We lack all of this now.

Unconditional love,
Immediate forgivenss,
Where have these things gone?

Plastic grins,
Hollow laughter,
This is what we have become.

Conditonal love,
Continuous grudges,
Where did these things come from?

Oh the innocence of a child,
don't we all wish we could get that back?
