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

But with every passing minute, breathe in like it is your last
Don't take for granted a second, as it 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's name that you walk
To the persons name, who may pass or talk

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

Enjoy the things that the universe will unfold
And try to imagine all the stories untold

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

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

We take so much for granted and sometimes need to beware
Many things to be thankful for and the 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
Unsure of how long the pain will last

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

Take time to thank the universe and pray
Of this once in a life time, this moment, today
