- I’m just a simple man
-
nothing much matters to me
except for this corner chest
inside a silver dollar from my dad
and this here leather chair
where I sit
-
-
- I’m just a simple man
-
as long as I have food
and a roof over my head
life is good
today my breakfast tasted different
somedays it tastes great but not today
-
-
- I’m just a simple man
-
he said not much matters
but the things that matter
today the simple man was sad
a foreboding sadness that dogs him
chases him down and sets upon him
-
-
- I see the simple man
-
in his simplicity, in his sadness
I didn’t know it was that simple
Didn’t realize he was simple
Nothing is ever simple to me
except the simple man
Nice poem

This reminded me of a popular song I listened to many years ago when I was a teenager. 🎸

This man sounds like a complicated man, MichelleMarie.
Often people who call themselves simple are anything else than simple.
Enjoy a beautiful weekend ❤

Oh boy you got that part right. I find it interesting when they say this then the list of things that they see are wrong and you know they aren’t simple. But they think they are. I agree with you. Happy weekend to you too. ❤️

Not really… A simple man is never really simple, but complex. Thanks for the comment.

It’s true Tim. It’s never simple, except when it is and then you realize maybe your female mind thought everything meant something that is doesn’t. I think seeing the simplicity stops me from my rambling thoughts. It is what it is. 🙂
