Did You...

Did you see the sun rise today?
Slowly filling the sky with color
Beauty building with each moment.

Did you smile at a stranger today?
Lift the corners of your mouth gently
And touch the heart of another.

Did you tell someone you love them today?
Take a moment to let them know
How much they mean to you.

Did you take the time to breathe deeply?
Enjoy the small things life can offer
And appreciate the world around you.

Did you live your life today?
If you missed any of these things
Slow down and remember to enjoy

Cloudy Sky, yes I saw the sun come up and every morning I am so very happy I can get up,I've seen times in the past that it didn't happen. I went to the Post Office to get my mail this morning and saw a gentleman and he inquired,"How are you", I replied,"I am fine, I was able to get up". Great poem,I enjoyed.
