Penny For Your Thoughts

There were those reasons Plenty of inspirations For an abundance of transformations We all want to taste a bit of luck Watch our world turn to stars from dust So we try to change this Remove that Make prayers and wishes Sell ourselves until we fall flat Yet we cannot see that bit of glimmer That penny in the dirt pile We assume we’ll chance upon it We make it to it but don’t realize Then we blame life So do you so do I It’s not about yearning, earning, searching It’s about finding Why can’t we see the beauty in what we find? Always looking for what we think we own But is actually unknown Why can’t we be happy when we get less? Don’t many lesses add up to more? Throwing away anything that isn’t gold You might have found silver but now you’ll never know Pay attention to what you find In yourself and life Don’t keep in chase of perfection Pay some praise to your reflection It’s easy to keep striving for the best But what’s the use if you can’t accept your limitations Because it’s only by accepting that we can overcome.
