To Live
To Live is a blessing we take for granted
how often does one pause and enjoy
the simple things yet intricately made
splendorous beauty of hollyhocks bowing
Stop, look and think, study your surrounds
think of how each thing you see counts
how each relies on other things to survive
open your eyes and instead just take it in
Don't think of negatives, be positive
never live for tomorrow or the past
treat each day afresh and full of wonder
just be joyous that you are alive and live life
how often does one pause and enjoy
the simple things yet intricately made
splendorous beauty of hollyhocks bowing
Stop, look and think, study your surrounds
think of how each thing you see counts
how each relies on other things to survive
open your eyes and instead just take it in
Don't think of negatives, be positive
never live for tomorrow or the past
treat each day afresh and full of wonder
just be joyous that you are alive and live life

It makes effect sense to live for today each time today comes. This is something I learned very early in life. As usual, all the bits fit together like a jigsaw puzzle to make a whole picture. I enjoyed this read.
You have a nice evening.
Catch you later,
MIKE.
