Poem - The Simple Things

 Here is another poem that I found while cleaning Mom's room. It is a much shorter poem than some of them. It is written by Linda Durham.

THE SIMPLE THINGS

Do we forget the simple things

That make our lives worthwhile?

The grace of a flowing tear,

The tenderness of a smile.

We tend to swell on the problems

That each day seems to bring. 

Is there nothing better to recall?

Have we forgotten everything?

Stop now and remember 

Some memories you've stored away.

Something worth recalling 

To make a better day.

I do find this to be very true as it seems that we allow problems to creep into our days and we dwell on them instead of looking for the bright spots and the memories that we can make and the ones we have already made. What simple thing makes you smile?
