Insight of Value

Appreciate the bright blue sky For days grow dark through weary eyes Breathing in the crisp clean air Instead of wandering in despair Smile wide with open arms Without the thought to withdraw Enjoy the aroma of a rose Instead of worrying about the thorns Be a generous giver And not think about the cost Have a heart that's rich Instead of one that's bitter Understanding the aspect of time Isn't by glancing at the clock Patience, the present is your future Instead of wallowing in the past Stay wise and you will see The fool you used to be Confessing all your faults Rises you to your best

Awesome! I loved it all and how you bring to light just how much we take for granted and our attitudes towards giving gifts or anything else of that aspect.
