There’s pain ,sorrow , anger , and hate

All things we don't appreciate

There's smiles , joy , laughter and luck

All which we ignore and still feel stuck

 

Why can't we enjoy things that are simply right?

In all this darkness it's hard to see the light

Can't we see it's up to us to be truly happy?

Why be rude and have an attitude so snappy?

 

People walk by without a smile on their face

People live wanting their own space

Nobody walks past saying hello

Everybody minds their own while drinking their cup of joe

 

This world has no warmth , it's a problem we truly don't see

We know of religions and love so how could this be?

People seem to think of themselves before another

Maybe it's from the pain of abandonment left from their mother

 

I don't see why we can't live in peace

All this hate, i get it you just can't release

Is it because of the color of our skin or our choice of religion?

But you can't take a second to enjoy, not even a smidgen?

 

I had to make a point to express why these things make me so happy

Other wise it might come off too sappy

 

An old couple in the park bring tears of joy to my eye

When he still opens the door for her, what a heck of a guy

 

The bubbles that circulate when a fish swims by in a fish tank

Or whenever theres a successful prank

Christmas lights that are white

Their so pure and shine so bright

 

Weird nicknames that don't make sense

The clink-clank noise of a couple of cents

 

When people say “It’s gonna be okay“ when they know it's not

But still those kind words mean a lot

 

When a group of people sing together in synch

When little girls skip with arms in link

 

I don't like cheese but how long it takes for it to age perfectly makes me appreciate time

I like sour sweet so I enjoy the taste most can’t obtain of a lime

 

There's so many simple things I take pleasure in

It shows on my face always, way more than a grin.
