Looking Out the Window

When I awake in the morning
  I thank Jesus for another day,
  hoping that everything will go well.
  
  But because of the world we live in
  it can be hard,,sometimes I just stare 
  out the window and wonder where did
  it go?

  The laughter you can hear.
  The peacefulness of the earth.
  
  I look out the window I see 
  everyone in a hurry.
  Worried about their money issues,
  They're working seven days week just
   to make it happen.

  Living and making ends meet.
  Not slowing down to realize what really matters.
  God,family,and Love
 Appreciating what they have.

  Yes, I look out the window 
  and see a mixed up world.
  Stop and notice how things have changed.
  Get it right.

  Prioritize your life,
  it may just surprise you.
  Don't just look at the window.
  Lean on God,he's there for you.

Beautiful Angel is sad to see that the world is so busy. It’s like a robotic environment where everybody is doing and saying and living the same way. Angel sad to see that the world is so busy. It’s like a robotic environment where everybody’s doing and saying and living the same way. I help people think about thinking And when that happens it brings them back to the reality that they are alive for themselves and happiness begins within Love and hugs Giggles

Painted a great picture. I often think about these things as well. We take for granted what we have during this rat race, we need to realize that it's the simpler things in life that bring the most happiness. Beautifully written!
