Special Things

Life is full of surprises some good and some bad Many regretful surprises in my life i have had I find that i stay more content as life passes by If i make sure not to set my expectations too high When you learn to accept to each their own And to be who you are and let it be known When we are young and patience are few We are often let down by what others may do We most times will listen but don't really hear And completely avoid the things that we fear We put so much focus on material things But not so much on the joys life truly brings Sad but true we usually won't know what we had til it gone With far to much time spent on who's right and who's wrong But as life progresses and we start to mature We grow from struggles we all have to endure We start to pay more attention to smiles and to laughter And we realize that making others feel good is all that we're after When receiving a hug is when our heart truly sings Is when we learn what's important are these special things
