The feel of the breeze at it runs on my skin
The sound of a cricket as it calls to its kin
The look of a blue jay, soaring so well
The sight of the sunset makes my heart swell

A dog is barking, not far away
The trees are dancing, branches a sway
Leaves floating down, it looks like such fun
And a duck in the pond is basking in sun.

The smell of dinner from a house nearby
Kind of fruity – maybe there’s pie?
And the laugh of a child, mixed with a scream
Chased by his mother. This seems like a dream.

We pass by so much, rushing each day
Need to slow down or we’ll blow away.
Get lost in the moment and open your eyes
Reach out your senses. You’re in for surprise!
