Notice

Notice how the sun feels on your skin
How the wind makes you squint your eyes
How the rain makes you shiver
How the snow makes you smile

These things make you alive

Notice how soft the pillow is
When you rest your head
How clean the water is
Straight from the tap
How the walls keep out the weather
To keep you dry and safe

These things make you rich
