SIMPLE THINGS GREAT PLEASURE BRING

Simple things great pleasure bring.
Tomatoes on the vine,
Hanging lush and red,
Tempting to come down.

Our furry friends,

Lumped up in bed.

Simple things make life worth living.
Kind words, gentle touch, 
Promises made and kept.
All so freely given.

A true friend.
Now that is a great treasure.
Someone there for you.
And when in trouble
Come when you call their name.

What seems to be a "new normal" is just to rant and rave and say whatever comes to mind with absolutely NO FILTER as to the value or truth of what is being said. When I was growing up I heard things like "watch your mouth" and "think before you speak." Not to think before speaking was tagged mouthing off. Today the attitude is to let go with whatever is on your mind without any thought to its consequences.
