Poem
As I look outside today through my window pane, I see the cloudy weather about to start to rain Dismal, dark and dank it is outside just now How I truly wish I could be out there somehow But alas my view of the world is confined to this one seat I cannot walk to go outside to once more feel summer's heat To feel the rain upon my face once more would be blissful The thought of it while comforting I know is only wistful The feel of normal things outside is what I mostly miss A snowy winter's day a snowflakes chilly kiss The blades of grass beneath my feet To feel the sun's life giving heat To walk along a thoroughfare with its traffic noise Would be a pleasant diversion from this endless void. A stroll in a city park with children engaged in play To watch such a sight again would be an amazing day I wish I could tell everyone to take each single second To enjoy the moments you so often take for granted That stroll you take each summer night so pleasant calm and soothing Cherish its simplicity know it's not worth losing To run across the meadow into a lovers arms A feeling I can never know so I trust it to you now Take the time to do those things you can simply do For when those things are taken it is those that trouble you I ask you climb a hill with your kids today Then roll down it with them take the time to play Walk along a nature trail take in all its wonder Run in a summer rain count the claps of thunder Do all those things today and no not just for me But because its so important time so quickly flees The simple things in life are also its most joyous Please dont ever treat them as if they were aweless I ask you don't feel sad for me I seek not pity nor sympathy I wish only that you honor me By living your life voraciously.
