Just a litte thing I wrote for school.. I liked it.

Your life was put into your hands
and the first day you were so very thankful
every breath you took was in gratitude
every sight you took in was beautiful
every smell was new and sweet
the colors were bright
and your mind was clear
your body never felt so right.
That first day was the day you felt thankful
and as time went by you began to forget just how much so
not by any fault of your own you started to let the world effect you
you let the hours slip pass
the moments go by
you let the colors that were once so bright
fade into something a bit more dull and worn.
You didn't look up to the sky and feel awe in the pit of your stomach
you didn't smell the smell of rain and remember your loved ones with a smile
you just allowed your senses begin to fail you, let your brain take over
let it tell you there are more important things to be doing.
It's okay you forget these things,
everyone does,
but just remember every once in a while
to let a deep breath into your lungs.
Remember to really look at the colors and textures around you
to really take the time to love those who you see so often
and never for a moment realize one day they will be gone.
Just remember to be thankful for what you have,
every ability,
every strength,
even every weakness.
You are perfect and to remember that all you have to do
is take a moment to see that life is worth so much more
than anyone gives it credit for.

Aww, I liked this. Everyone takes things for granted, and you reminded us of this here.
It's good to point it out to us.
People are so smart...yet so stupid at the same time. Make sense?

Well done.

Hey MOLLY - I too like this write... It reminds us that in such a place as the stagnant sesspool of life, that there is the sweet smell of "just-before-the-rain"

Sometimes we all need a good reminder of that - So thanx for the reminder AND thanx for sharing your poem with us.
