Make Memories

There is a light within.
There is color all around.
Always something to begin.
Search for what can't be found.

Read a five hundred page book.
Buy an expensive something new.
To really see, you have to look.
There is so much to view.

Arrange a vase of fresh flowers.
Sing when you hear a special song.
Stay outside when caught in rain showers.
Do it all right, then do it all wrong.

Take an unplanned vacation
Go out and fly a kite.
A workday missed for recreation.
Let your soul take flight.

Stay up to watch the sunrise.
It is worth the lack of sleep.
Treat yourself to a surprise.
Make memories, your heart will keep.

Sandra, I had to run back up and see what the title was; this poem is intriguing. "Take an unplanned vacation Go out and fly a kite. A workday missed for recreation. Let your soul take flight." YES!
