this is a poem for simple things

like counting to 10

or finding a penny

it’s about alarm clocks

and tissue paper

it’s about your favorite bag

or finding an old receipt

it’s about tripping over a stick that is not very big

and laughing at that

it’s about the glitter that some sidewalks have on them

you know 

simple things

that feed you

that make things easier

that keep you going

sometimes simple things are not simple things

sometimes they are not things

sometimes they are not simple

still

they give you what you need

and from simple things

you get something else 

like joy

and like comfort

for something so simple

this is a great gift to have
