Dear World,
When I open my eyes
this morning,
feeling a little sad,
please remind me to see
the beauty
in what I already have.
Let me regain
the enchantment -
July skies, cottony clouds,
the willow by the pond
with its branches all bowed,
the horse in the meadow,
the doves
in the trees,
the gift of a day
to spend just as I please.
Remind me, always,
to Keep Looking Up,
beyond all the what-if's
that clutter my cup.
In place of yearning for beauty
that's farther away,
may I reclaim the magic
of this summer day.
Oh, I love to see the dogs in the water! Beautiful photo, and your poem is just as it should be.
ReplyDeleteLuv, K

Wise words Sherry! One tends to forget of the goodness already within but still wanting more. If only one opens up. Many are just not able to. Nicely!
Hank
