The beauty of life

misskay

Life is a miracle 

The beauty of it mostly gets missed

As we continue daily routines the beauty of this world often fades into the mist.

For we are always busy 

Running here and there

That we don't take a little time

To stop and think and share

 

Share a moment of surrounding beauty 

Like daffodils in the spring

Or the morning sun rise 

As beautiful birds graciously sing

Or a child laughing innocently 

Playing on a swing 

If only you just took a minute to breath these moments in.

Stop rushing through the days

Stop worrying and being annoyed 

At silly insignificant things

 

You are missing the beauty of the world 

And the joy that moments bring

The colours of the autumn leaves the texture 

Crisp and soft 

Go play in them for a moment before that moments lost.

The white snow and its texture make a snowman or snow angel before you go

Wherever it is that your going

Your missing life's graces whenever you say no

Go have fun in the sun 

Or talk and hug a loved one 

Laugh with friends until you cry

Everyday is a blessing for all of us to try

 

The breeze on your face and the sound of gentle waves, the beauty of the deep blue sea to embrace

The warmth of the sun rays or the fluffy white clouds in the sky

Silence your mind and feelings 

Take a walk before the time passes you by.

 

A silky red rose to admire or the feel of a comforting hand in hand or

Bare feet on the soft golden sand

A butterfly flying with elegance

The moon in the night sky with twinkling stars

Take a moment to capture and stop wherever that you are

 

The beauty of the land, all flowers, trees and green grass

Take a look at all its glory before its out of your grasp

 

A colourful rainbow 

Gazing at a new born baby from head to toe

Feel the rain on your skin 

Don't hide under an umbrella 

Your time soon could be up 

We don't have a forever

 

Tell your loved ones how much they mean and see everyday a blessing  there's something good for you to see no matter what the mess you're in

 

As before you know it, it will be too late

Your days on earth will be over

To stop & think & appreciate.

        THANKS KAY ~ for a wonderful uplifting Poem for a Monday ! I love the Structure & Subject of this delightful Poem. "I say to myself what a Wonderful World !"
        Your Poem flows well (Rhythm) and has lots & lots of Rhyme. Some of the longer lines (3, 14, 23, 30 & 34) could be split into TWO LINES to give it a better shape. Shape is important in a Printed Poem. Line 46 would need to split into THREE LINES ~ OK.
        I love the Areas of Nature you highlight ! Daffodils ~ Birds ~ Children ~ Autumn leaves, colour & texture ~ Snow (awesome) ~ Hugs & Laughter ~ Sun & Clouds ~ Roses ~ Butterflies ~ Moon ~ Land & Trees ~ New Born Babies (Miracles) ~ Love Ones !
        STOP ~ THINK ~ APPRECIATE ~ Awesome Poem ~ Sound advice ~ LOVE IT Thanks for sharing ~ YOURS BRIAN
        I share this site with my Fiancee ANGELA who is on a Work Placement in New Zealand for a YEAR. Please check her POEM Today ~ "Seven More NZ Quirks" ~ Thanks BRIAN 1
