The Life We Take For Granted

THE LIFE WE TAKE FOR GRANTED

The life we take for granted

Is the life we live enchanted

With beauty that blossoms in every nook

Just like the murmur of a babbling brook

In morning's hush, when dewdrops gleam

Like diamonds scattered in a dream

Each blade of grass, each tender leaf

Holds mysteries beyond belief

The windswept clouds that paint the sky

Tell stories as they drift on by

Of distant lands and ancient tales

Carried forth on gentle gales

Through forest deep and meadow wide

Nature's wonders still reside

In simple things we often miss

Each moment touched by subtle bliss

So pause awhile and truly see

The magic of reality

For in this world of rush and strain

The wonder still does yet remain

Where every sunset paints anew

A masterpiece of golden hue

Reminding us with quiet grace

That beauty dwells in every place

The sun, a painter, strokes the sky,

With hues of rose as daylight dies

The moon, a silver disc so bright,

Bathes the world in gentle light

The stars, like diamonds, twinkle high,

Reflecting dreams that softly sigh

And every breath, a precious gift,

A symphony of life, adrift

So let us cherish every grace,

This fleeting dance, this wondrous space

For in this life, so fleeting, brief,

We find true joy, and sweet relief
