Simple Things

Fancy clothes,
Expensive cars,
Diamonds,
Mansions.
Why?
It doesn't make you better.
It makes you forget the important things,
The simple things.
Laughing with a friend
Or singing in the shower.
A walk in the park,
The smell of rain.
The young flowers of spring,
The warmth of fire on a peaceful winter night.
The love of a pet,
Watching movies with your family,
Reading a good book,
Eating ice cream for dinner.
These are things that should matter.
Not how much money you have.
