While vacationing and
reminiscing,
I thought of all the lovely things I missed.
Not because they weren't there,
But because I didn't have them on my list.
We should look around us,
And see the beauty that's ours to enjoy.
Stop and smell the roses,
That bloom on God's sweet shores.
An old wooden bench,
On a grassy hill,
With the ocean just before me,
Suddenly gave me chills.
What all I must have missed
In all the years gone by.
Wondering why birds fly in formation,
When they fly across the sky.
That is not for me to know,
But accept as a gift to mankind.
Accept what we have been blessed with,
And clear your wondering mind.
Clouds fly by like cotton balls.
All white and fluffy in the sky.
And all we have to do is enjoy them,
As they float by ever so high.
I like to think how wonderful,
I feel in the spray from the sea.
The feel of freedom that I feel,
How wonderful that can be.
So try to relax and smell those roses,
While time still permits.
And watch the birds as they fly by,
As by the sun the Earth is lit.
One day we'll know it all,
And it won't matter then,
Why things weren't just as we thought,
Or just as it should have been.
Rest that weary mind,
Accept it as it is.
For all things were made by God,
And all of it is His.
