LIFE

It is very easy to take our lives for granted
This amazing gift that we call ‘our time’
Living day by day without a second thought,
Living day by day without reason or rhyme
 
Missing the gifts that are given so freely
Every day bestowed without cost
While nature spoils us with all its glory
To experience it all, before it’s lost
 
Weaving our own colourful tapestries
Through our days, weeks, months and years
Looking back with great fondness
on events that brought us laughter and tears
 
Looking forward to yet more adventures,
to memories that will truly last
Those that stay with us, deep in our hearts
and are not consigned to a distant past
 
So do smell that flower that you just passed
and listen to the words of that great song
See the sights that every day surround us
Do not leave these things too long
 
It is very easy to take our lives for granted
To not appreciate each and every new morning
To not welcome everything that is amazing
While we await each beautiful dawning
