Sky, canvas of blue
Bespectacled by wondrous birds
Melody of song
Sung naturally without urge
So often ignored by man
O’ the things we miss
Rushing in our meager lives
How terribly sad
Perhaps taking a moment
We’d realize what’s important
.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all that I’ve missed and still miss. It’s hard though because, like you said, out meager lives get in the way…but that’s why we need poems like this! We need them to remind us to pay attention.
That is very nice of you to say Ray, I have to remind myself at time of the wonder that surrounds me. Thank you sir.
