Appreciation
I am in amazement
at how quickly
some people grow tired and bored
of each other
I see the sun each day
he is always dressed in the same fabulous
bright outfit
and I never tire of his shining face
I never grow bored with the beautiful sky
even when it stays calm
for a really long time
I never grow weary of the trees
or the birds, or even passing cars
even though they are always around
I never even tire of the streets
or the concrete of the ground
with all its tiny cracks and imperfections
How much more joyous should I be
to see the face of someone I love
looking back at me
I don't tire of being covered by the shroud of night
gazing up into the dark sky
seeing the same stars ,
sparkling like divine diamonds
I live this life and try to enjoy it
trying not to take even the smallest things
for granted
even though I 'm sure I sometimes do
even when times are stressful
I try to believe It will somehow make me stronger
When tears fall from my eyes
I try to stay hopeful
that this rain that streams
down my cheeks
are life giving waters
that will help to wash me clean
purifying me, renewing my spirits
and positive energy
that I will be a receptacle
for better things to come.
