Simplicity Does Hurt Poem by Dwayne Banks

When people talk, others listen
when the Sun shines, water glistens
When a puppy does, children see
when a kitten purrs, so do we
When streets are wet, puddles arise
when children play, they see the skies
When loved ones cry, hearts do ache
when children are born, they take the cake
When women smile, their eyes do too
when pictures are sent, they miss you
When difficult times, show you pain
say a prayer, think again
When ones you love, simply disappear
a child is born, a Mother has cheer
When times do show simple commercials
know your strength, against major dispersals

Life has hurdles, toils and pains; always remember,
if you do the best in even the most difficult situations,
listen to the best of your ability, times can change
and benefit - if not you- your loved ones, then you can
rejoice in your heart that when you last saw your
Mother-she smiled, and the last laugh you
heard was your childs', and the last kiss you received
was from your loved one - You! , Yes You, rejoiced in
your heart and did play a beneficial part in the lives
of the people that love you!
