Things That Matter

Roaring of traffic is the song that play An i phone is the preferred company which everyone is lost in its magical lay A minute to listen to a friends' story is considered the least And a moment to stop for a short prayer can be a delay Cursing is the easiest way to keep frustrations at bay The clock at the door could tell who's the slave of the day Coffee at hand means no good meal today Hurried steps to catch up the first bus and train must be the mantra until one turns to gray But nothing is more impressive to see the bobbing out of flowers bud in a deserted lot and worn out pot.. the filtering of sun's rays of the waning day.. To embrace The new day and a fresh dew after a night downpour blew.. The stray birds searching for a morsel of seed under the shadow of a spring bloomed tree The angry waves that calm down as they kissed the soft silver bed of shore And nourish tiny creatures secretly sheltered in an empty dry and neglected shells The sunset that never tires to display the wonder of colors of the twilight to begin another day How much more to reckon A gasp of disbelief from a mother to hear her newborn cry.. An angelic smile of a baby to wash out mom's tiring day A toddler who learns a step or two to embrace her freedom without much delay... And to understand A teen's eagerness to wear the cap of challenges he's never been.. And to feel.. a hug to prod dispirited being to move on and let go And a gentle hand that assures when death comes in time. Though life is painted sometimes with color not our choice to enjoy and crying can be the best cleanser and holding on is our character equalizer But the one who sees things that matter most is blessed with a heart that never breaks when brokenness undertakes..
