Life brings to us many things
but what high expectations we set!
What is it within our souls
making us think our needs are never met ?
Why is the blue sky in the morning not
enough, or the view from a mountain top?
How is it that the rain showered upon us
comes at a time when we would rather it stop?
Why is it when the sun beams down
we complain of the heat we can't seem to bear?
Is it just our nature to miss the beauty
and to seek out that which causes us despair?
It is my wish to accept whatever a new day brings
with gladness and awe and respect.
For though we do it to her often enough,
one thing nature never returns to us is neglect.
Today I pledge to appreciate it all,
every bug, every bird, every flower.
I will remember all I really need is right here,
provided quite freely by an awesome power.
