Simple Things

When in the deepest darkness
The smallest light can blind
So shines each loving kindness
In this bleak and baleful time

It's in the smallest, simplest things
Where we find love and hope
A small child's laugh can soothe the sting
And somehow, we can cope

A warm soft wind, a gentle rain
A hug, a touch, a kiss
Small pleasures slowly heal our pain
That's never hurt like this.

Reality's harsh blow has brought
Us nearer to hell's door
We need love's balm when this distraught
As we never have before.
