Seasons change, as does all life...
Moments of beauty, wonderment and yes, times of strife

But with every passing moment, breathe in like it is your last..
Don't take for granted of one moment that will soon be the past

So laugh hard, love and hold on dear to what is truly in your heart
Be humble, be thankful, treat everyday as a new start

Walk through the day and take in all thats around

From buildings, animals, nature and sounds

From the street names where you walk
To the person's name that may pass or talk

From the colour of the sky, to the colour of the trees so tall
Acknowledge the cycle from winter, spring, summer and fall

Enjoy the things that the god will unfold
Try to imagine all the stories untold

Take the opportunity to enjoy each and everyday
make the time to have fun with child like play

Count all your blessings every little one
Especially when you want to hide and run

We take so much for granted and sometimes need to be aware
There are many things to be thankful for and people who care

The kind gestures of a smile, a hello, an embrace
It's okay to remember the moments time can't erase

But living in the here and now
Makes it easier to cope some how

Holding on to loved ones past
Unknown how long the pain will last

Allow the day to be what it should
Let go of what you wished it could

Take the time to give thanks to god and pray
Of this once in a life time, this moment, today
