The simple things

I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold

I’ve found my heaven in a hand I hold

The world moves fast, but I go slow

When I see Zion laugh and grow

Zariah’s smile lights up my day

Like sunshine breaking through the gray

It’s in those little laughs and tiny hands

That I remember who I am

It’s the simple things that make life shine

Like muddy shoes and storytime

The way they run, the way they sing

The joy that only love can bring

No fame, no fortune, no big dreams

Can match what these moments mean

Zariah’s smile, Zion’s glow

Make it all worth it — more than they’ll know

Late night cuddles, sleepy eyes

Questions under starlit skies

The mess, the noise, the sweet chaos

Are blessings I would never toss

I don’t need the world to see

What their love already gives to me

I’d trade it all, without a doubt

For these memories I can’t live without

’Cause the simple things are everything

A quiet hug, a song to sing

The way they love without a care

Makes the weight I carry light as air

No spotlight, no headlines to show

But in this love, I fully grow

Zariah’s smile, Zion’s glow

Make it all worth it — and they’ll always know
