HOW LITTLE A little of love and a little of air A pinch of salt and a trace of care Are what we need to live this life As free as a bird from bitter strife A little to eat and a little to drink A book to read and time to think A small little roof over our heads And a little corner to lay our beds Are some of the things we also need These our little bodies' desires to feed Though I suspect that the list will grow To include a garden to walk to and fro And of course one needs a little child Which calls for a mother nice and mild O fool I was to believe that I could Be happy without a little firewood I must stop now for I see I have failed And joined the crowds who always wailed For this and that and some more of this Forgot that simplicity is the greatest bliss.

Wow, I really enjoyed the poem loved the last verse. Life is not always simple quite true. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

This is excellent. We always want more and more, can't stop ourselves somehow, even if we want to. Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |

The simple things are hardest to find. They always scape our searching minds. This post was a great way to say. For which we search every day. Great work  Kevin "Anything is possible with patience, time is the tool use it to reach your goals." |
