Out in the fields where the grass is green, Out in the open, where you can smell the wind and feel it’s taste. And the sounds of the birds chirping is music to the ears. Nothing flashy nor fancy, Only a simple life. No crave for attention, No craze for perfection, Just a sense of…… Continue reading Simple Life
