World's Gifts
As hard as one can possibly stare
I stared into the setting sun
My retinas burned on solar flare
Yet, I didn’t turn ‘til it was done
I promised self to take the time
To witness beauty upon descent
Just what really inspired rhyme
Now I know just what they meant
For life, a sleepless voyage be
Can be changed if we only choose
Take the time, yes, try to see
Gather it all, you cannot lose
This, I learned then to be true
I share it now to give to you
