We wake up
each morning
trusting
we will make
it through
another day
Taking every breath
for granted
Sometimes forgetting
to give thanks
Showing no emotions
for a homeless passerby
Endlessly denying
what hunger lacks
Never suspecting
that this could be
our last day
Too busy
for a kiss
too hurried
for a hug
Avoiding constant
reminders that
life is too short

Very very true.  Realizations reached much too late for most.  Nicely done, Walker

Hi Walker,

Yes you are so right it is easy to over look these kinds of things and even that much more now because there seems to be so much of it we have become desensitized with, full of wisdom and so enjoyed.

Love, Cerenity

I was expecting one of your beautiful love poems, but this is a very good reminder that we should always be grateful for what we have. I thank my lucky stars that I have my family and friends and all of you, without any of it i would be so lonely. (hugs)

So much truth in this, walker. I am glad I stopped by and read this one.
