Life has its many blessings
that come in many forms:
Did you wake up early in the morning -
just to see the soft colours of the dawn?
Did you feel the warmth of the sun -
as you walk down the street today?
Did you look out of the window -
to see the beauty of a streak of lightning?
And when it rains, do you stretch out your hand
to taste the juice of heaven,
or take a walk in your bright yellow boots -
to feel the wetness in the air and hear the crunch of your own footsteps?
Did you applaude the chirping singers -
as you take a stroll in the park?
When you see a child cry, aren't you tempted -
to kiss away her tears, and hold her hand?
On a windy day, do you stand on a hill -
and let your skirts swirl, pants flap, scarfs and hats fly off, somewhere?
When on the beach, are you tempted
to send a message in a bottle, to be read by someone, somewhere?
Did you admire the splendour -
of the evening sunset?
And when night falls, do you count the stars around the moon -
or spend you time just drinking in the pub?
