Simple Man Poem by Bernard Snyder

Simple Man

Rating: 5.0


I'm thrilled with the small things in life
and I don't need a lot of notoriety,
any thing that I do
I do it smooth and quietly,
I'm not into the glamorous lifestyle
or the high level of prestige
I may not have the luxury cars
however, I can get whatever I need,
you won't find me asking for 'hand-outs
because I don't live beyond my means
I don't believe in a whole lot of excess
just the bare necessities.

Oh but you deserve much, much more! I love you humbleness though.

That's true...back to the real life we actually not to live for all luxury golden life with road of money factory...we just need a peace, a value and the great moment in life...simple men are always easy to find what they want...it doesnt mean poor is the life but have everything simple, as we got what we need, live with best feeling and so wonderful is our aim...rich not mean anything, sometimes people can stab back because money illusion..we all just want to be happy and simple man as you said is really worthy...You write reality and the poem really mean a lot by this humanity :) Great write Bernard 10 smiles my vote for u :) _Unwritten Soul
