SIMPLE LIFE - by Sandra Martyres

SIMPLE  LIFE  by Sandra Martyres Life is a beautiful dream Though it may not always so seem Look at the flowers that surround us They appear and disappear without a fuss As do the birds in the sky They just continue as long as they can to fly I watch in awe as the cows lazily graze They are in no hurry to reach fields of maize The juicy grass is good enough They are not chasing after better stuff It is only we who are not satisfied Until we have all life's luxuries tried We go far and wide in search of fun And when we face problems we just run This is a lesson we need to learn From lesser creatures how to earn Happiness from the simple things in life Leaving aside complexities and strife
