Life's Subtle Joys

We wake up with our list to do,

the sun is out, the sky is blue.

We rush, we grumble, through the day,

we feel guilty to rest and stay.

Bills to pay and house to clean,

just surviving is not the dream.

All our plans and all our noise,

we overlook life’s subtle joys.

So rest a moment, take a walk,

let nature's hum do the talk.

The morning sun, the stars at night,

a moment spark to observe the bright.

Feel the gratitude, seize the day,

for life's a gift and come what may.
