Living In the Moment

I sit watching the sparrows at play, They flit and flirt, and then fly away. No trouble rests on their shoulders, Their concern is just living today. My thoughts would be like a sparrow’s, Delighting in the moments accorded. For tomorrow is always a question Today, peace is the trophy awarded.

I love this read! It has such a quick and easy flow because of the rhyme scheme you selected and the words create the clearest of imagery, letting the reader fully see. Excellent! Michael
