Simple Lives

Save some snow for the sunny day

Get the pitchers, collect the rain drops

Trap the heat for when it turns gray

Make the foundations sturdy

Lest the wind blow it away

Two times shall he hit the rock

Three times shall he pray

The sky; the gates of rain to unlock

His crops, a drink for the day

The trials of friendship

The prices we pay

Defend yourself from envy 

And keep your pride at bay

Be thankful for family

The good, the bad, the ugly

The ones who leave, 

The ones who stay

Tomorrow's not promised,
So love today

The days of the week from first to last

Some for work and some for play

Some days to eat and some to fast

To curse, to bless, conjure or pray

Keep a smile for the gloomy days

For it is in itself sublime

If all things go, pray love to stay

For all times -

Tomorrow and today
