Simple Man

I've always loved and felt a connection with the song, Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It wasn't until I had my baby boy three years ago, that I understood why.

After I took these shots yesterday, I immediately thought of this song.
{really, what better way to spend an hour than to follow him around outside and watch him explore the world?}
The lyrics seemed so fitting.


Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it will help you some sunny day"


"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"
And be a simple kind of man


Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can


"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"


And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can
Oh yes, I will



"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand.
-Lynyrd Skynyrd "Simple Man"
Hope you all have a nice weekend. We will be busy with egg hunts, pizza parties with friends and doing some work on one of our bathrooms.
And yikes, just realized, Easter is already next weekend?!?
