Nudges toward simplicity

Father,

Simplify her life in every possible way that you can,

show her always, life's grand plan.

Speak to her so that she knows it doesn't matter if clothes fit,

teach her the way that she should to you submit.

Material possessions and things often times get in the way,

having stuff should not steal our life and make us be the ones to pay!

The less we have, the more we can focus our attention on others,

spending time with our friends and family brings us life's greatest colors.

Help her to just let go when she needs to let go,

and help her to keep things when she needs to let them grow.

Memories can last a lifetime when things rust, brake, or mold,

memories are greater than things because they are like gold.
