Appreciate Life

Appreciate lifeIn a very special way Each moment is precious So much more than we can say Taking for granted The day to day stuff Is not only a mistake But simply not good enough There are times in our life That seem so enhanced But the remainder of days We walk around in a trance There is so much beyond What we normally think and see But it’s the little details That will ultimately set us free A beautiful sunset The crashing waves of the sea Are all an intricate part Of our reality The developmental stages That we so quickly pass through Encompassed so much more Than we ever knew Appreciating the ups As well as the downs Serves us very well When no support can be found There are no shortcuts to life Rushing around will not do The treasures that we seek Require diligence to pursue A child’s tender touch The smile that lights up her face Are worth so much more Than winning any race An online parenting class Can be instructive And teach us a thing or two But the real joy and bliss Is right in front of you Our children grow up In the blink of an eye And before we know it Up, up, and away they fly Don’t be afraid to compliment Because the little things we say Mean so much And go an awful long way There are no secrets Or hidden keys To opening one’s heart And appreciating all that is free Whichever which way We turn or go There are others in need Of what we can show Appreciation comes In many styles There is no one right way To make someone smile We do our best When we allow to flow All of our joy And the bliss that we sow Don’t be afraid To break out of the norm There is so much more To give and to Be That is why we were born Appreciate life With all of your heart Don’t miss a beat And you’ll be off to a brand new start JWS 7/26/11
