Here's a sweet poem from

Delight in Simple Things
Learn to like what
doesn’t cost too much.
Learn to like reading,
conversation, music.
Learn to like plain
food, plain service,
plain cooking.
Learn to like fields,
trees, brooks, hiking,
rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people,
even though some of them
may be different from
you.
Learn to like to work
and enjoy the
satisfaction of doing
your job as well as it
can be done.
Learn to like the songs
of birds, the
companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening,
puttering around the
house, and fixing
things.
Learn to like the
sunrise and sunset, the
beating of rain on the
roof and windows,
and the gentle fall of
snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants
simple, and refuse to be
controlled by the likes
and dislikes of others.
