Realization

When I awaken this morning, I had a realization. Not one of everyday where I take things for granted. This morning was different. I heard the birds singing as I looked out the window. Watching the water in the brook flowing silently against the stones, a turtle came from the mud after laying its tinly, little eggs. A deer cautiously approaced the stream, sniffing the air for danger. A child played in the wind flying his kite. The music of nature emitted a mellow tune to the sounds of rustling leaves, as rain began to fall. Ah such sweet things, those things of everyday that I do take for granted. Yes this morning was different, Now as age catches up with me, I take nothing for granted. Not even the breath of life that allows m,e to experience these things.
