Simple Pleasures


Good morning sun,
Good morning life.
Good day it is
To meet the sunrise.

Is anything so crisp
as the morning breeze?
Is anything so innocent
as the dawn’s longevity?
So smoothly it comes and so sudden it leaves,
so passionate it pleases everything it sees.

God’s magic kingdom is filled with pleasure
For me and you and all of us, it’s a treasure
Of goodness and joy,
Of friendship and warmth,

You say hello, we say Salaam
You say bon joure, we say Salaam
Good morning life,
Good morning all,
Good day it is,
To talk to you all.

Simple pleasures flare,
As we inhale the air,
As we rush to share
Within the children we bare.
And freedom is born,
When children of trust convene
When they find the love between,
The unspoken words.

You say Shalom, we say Salaam
You say namaste, we say Salaam
Good morning life,
Good morning all,
Good day it is,
To talk to you all.

You say ahoy, we say Salaam
You say konichiva, we say Salaam
Good morning life,
Good morning all,

We think of the simple,
We pray for the simple,
We see everything simple,
We enjoy the simple
And we are free,
That is simple

You say salaam aleikom, we say dorood
You say salute, we say Salaam
Good morning life,
Good morning all,
Good day it is,
To talk to you all.
