I live for the simple things
The sunset almost missed a second before the sun went down over the horizon
The wild flowers growing in bunches by the roadside
Short lived before being mowed down
The grains of sand that make up an entire sea shore
That warm my toes in the afternoon sun
I live for the feeling I get gazing at the golden pink sky
Or the breath of the fragrent lily or daisy
Or the way the sand feels underneath my feet
I live for the simple things
That make me forget the every day struggles I go through
That make me for one moment in time
Fall in love with life!

This is very true. Sometimes in life's troubles we forget the little things that make life bearable.

 If you love something let it go... if it comes back it's yours... if it doesn't it never was.
