JUST SIMPLIFY
(~*~)
Simplify
Just do it
Every thing you do
Just make it simple for you
And others round as well do things
That makes it easy
Every day
Wonders of life
The beautiful of the ski
Every moment of life counts
So use to your advantage
You may wake up
Tomorrow
And it not be there
Wake up in another land are place
Take time to enjoy
For tomorrow is tomorrow and not your
Smile at the world it
Might just smile back never
Know if never try
Pure and innocence kin be
Just take the time
To stop and
Smell the roses
Every day
Precious as kin be
And laughter is every thing kin be
Every thing is never gonna be it should
You just have ta make the best of what have right there in front of you
Take the time to love
Even if its the child not
Always the man
Love is love
Dont even have to be in love
Just love pure love is all the is reqused
Live the life that given
You dont
Have to like it
Cuz all is not always fair
Live each minute
Ever hour
To their fullest
For tomorrow is just another day you wish you had ..

Here’s an example of simplified poetry. From the poem below, 22 words were extracted to make a new poem which says essentially the same thing.
A BALLAD OF MOTHER LOVE
When I was young my mother’s love
was always quite apparent.
We both could see it in her eyes;
her kindness was transparent.
My sister Randi was just five
when our dad deserted.
So mother raised us both herself
with effort well concerted.
Oh, motherhood is not a job
that’s suited for the weak.
A mother’s love encourages
parenting at its peak.
No single incident stands out
in those fine thirteen years.
Well maybe when my snakes got loose,
which drove her near to tears.
I felt so bad I’d frightened her,
but she did not berate,
insisting that I take them out
inside a mesh-topped crate.
She let them stay in the garage,
rather than sack the lot,
Her budding herpetologist
was clearly loved a lot!
Oh, motherhood is not a job
that’s suited for the weak.
A mother’s love encourages
parenting at its peak.
FORMATIVE YEARS
A mother’s love:
always apparent,
her kindness transparent.
Both clearly loved,
both raised well.
Job suited her.
Encourages peak effort.
Fine inside.
Budding.
” THE SIMPLE THINGS ”
*~*
Simple things I like
Like havin a life of my very own for a change
Not havin to wait on every one per say
Yet thats okay to a point
But to have a friend
To share things wit would be more better
Maybe even go for a ride
Enjoy a movie
Just sit and talk
Would be so grand
I mean I do have friends
Well internet ones
That I talk to on line
Not quite the same as one kin touch
Sit beside at a movie and eat popcorn wit friend
Even a ways to change the way I work at home so I have more time for me time
Doing less and enjoying it more
Balance of life
In me most difficult areas
Like learnin to say
” NO ”
And mean it when I so say it
Hummmmm
And that I
Can not do to well
It just breaks my heart to say no to any one
Yet
Simplify
Simplify is so what I need
Although I dont have a job I am trying to make sure I do things better for me
Yet most will say me got it easy
But care takin is a joy in its self wherethe
One believe it are not
Its not as
Simple as just sayin
Yet I try
Simplify

A POEM BOUT SCHOOL
*~*
I know that school is very fun
But when I get to fourth grade I will be scared because there will be new people that I dont know
The reason I am so excited because I will learn so many new thighs
And one more thing I want to say before I leave
I will love my teachers

A POEM ABOUT CAKES
~^~
Cakes are very good
I know two things cake can be good for: Weddings and Birthdays
I know two kinds of cakes : Chocolate and Strawberries
Those are not the only kinds of cakes
And one more thing I want to say before I leave
I really really do love cakes

BACK TO BASICS
Each morning as I awaken
and my feet touch the floor,
I’m thankful for another day
to continue upon my mission set
to simplify my life and me,
to reduce the clutter,
to minimize the stuff,
to find new homes for things
still useful enough for others,
but no longer useful to me.
So I sort them into piles,
what to keep
and what to discard,
what to give away,
what to donate,
to whom
and to where.
And by the end of the day,
I certainly must admit
I feel much better
and much lighter
having found new homes
for all those things
which have served
their purpose well.
And I’m happy
to have found
new homes for them
in my daily quest
to simplify
and get back
to the basics
and to the best
things in life,
uncluttered
and unfettered
simplicity.

SIMPLIFY
~*~
Frist thing I do in the mornings
Is I wash my face
Brush my teeth
Then I get dressed
Eat my breakfast
Now I am ready for the day
