Have You Forgotten
Have you forgotten?
Or do you not care?
Has someone or something
Taken it away somewhere?
I know you once had it
I saw it...I did.
Your bright smile
So wonderful to hear.
We just have this one life
Of this I am told.
So please let me help you
Find what you have lost.
Forget about past hurts,
It does no one good.
Brooding and weeping
About things we can't change.
Wake up and feel
Marvel at little things
Taste the jam on your bread
But most of all be happy
Because you're not dead.
