Simple Gifts <br /> <br />All a man needs is simple gifts, <br />In life it is the simple gifts that can cheer the soul, <br />When nothing else will, <br />From the blossom on the trees in spring, <br />The sound of church bells ringing, <br />The scent of roses carried on a summer breeze in the evening, <br />The sound of bird song heralding a new dawn, <br />The simple beauty of the Ladybird with her spots, <br />The sun glinting upon a stream, <br />Butterflies warming their wings in the morning sun, <br />The humble snowdropp appearing to herald that winter is drawing to a close, <br />When times are dire it's the simple gifts my heart yearns for most, <br />For its just life's simple gifts that makes humanity needs to survive and grow great. <br /> <br />By Christopher Tye<br /><br />Christopher Tye<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/simple-gifts/
