Simple Man

Simple man you walk alone among the convoluted day
All will smile upon you and your simple easy way
Years may pass before your eyes and slowly drift away
But never do you feel the sadness empty you like they

Simple man you walk alone among the convoluted day
Merry with your thoughts and nothing important to say
All around are envious though tease and mock they may
Simple man the peaceful calm holding the storm at bay

Simple man you walk alone among the convoluted day
Songs and jokes will fill the air wherever you may play
You bring such joy to others if only short time to stay
Ties of friendship whip and blow but never do they fray

Simple man you walk alone among the convoluted day
Time will turn our hearts to stone once you have gone away
But leave you must for we need learn life’s lessons taught today
Contentment is a gift that’s won when mind heed heart’s obey
