Simplicity

Simplicity often will be the best answer
To untangle "messes" and "knots" we create.
"Too much" is often the root of our problem
And may be the cause of our frustrated state.

"Too much" of everything can be as a snare,
A binding from which we just are not free.
Of hindrances always we should be aware
So we know who we are and who we should be.

Set aside time for worship and prayer.
Measure each day the time that you have.
You will begin to find a new balance,
And "order" will be as a sweet healing salve.

Perspective will change and priorities improve.
Patterns of "too much" will start to be clear.
As excess in schedules and "stuff" is removed
Simplicity's loveliness soon will appear.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV
