Appreciate

What do you have Do you know Sometimes we don't see Blindfolded, maybe Our journey through this life Brings many things New and familiar faces Different places Experiences through our lives Will all leave their mark From some happiness is the gain From others intense pain Some people quickly come and go Others stay, and feelings grow Some will be like gold On to them you will want to hold In the moment how do we know The treasures that are ours Like delicate flowers In ivory towers Time passes on What you have will be gone Never to be replaced It feels like a waste Live in the moment Love what you have Be grateful for your treasure It won't be yours forever
