The beauty of life is more than just sight it is the cry of a babe, and even our strife Look at your hands and stretch fingers out marvel at the force of which can be no doubt Feel the wind as it caresses the skin watch the sunrise with its coming again Hear the birds as they sing their song forgive the ones, that would do you wrong Revere the past that gives us hope admire the grace of antlered deer lope Take what we have, not what we want and build from there, never saying don’t Inhale the tang of a salt ocean breeze walk among the majesty of aspen trees Play with a child, talk with the old chase a rainbow for its pot of gold Dream your dreams, for they may come true to find the beauty, you have to pursue It is too easy for bitterness to reign when we feel lost and didn’t gain We don’t become wise without lessons learned nor does our strength come without being burned For what we are is how we do love what is there, and then you will find you. |
