Simple

A sweat-stained cap
A summer day
And a dog to push
The blues away

Keeps life simple
Free and easy
With morning air
Light and breezy.

A cup of coffee
Scrambled eggs
A sturdy back
And able legs

What more could I ask
But these
‘cept a faithful heart
And prayerful knees?

That’s all I need
Or hope to keep
My soul content
Before I sleep.
