Special Things
Life is full of surprises some good and some bad
Many regretful surprises in my life i have had
I find that i stay more content as life passes by
If i make sure not to set my expectations too high
When you learn to accept to each their own
And to be who you are and let it be known
When we are young and patience are few
We are often let down by what others may do
We most times will listen but don't really hear
And completely avoid the things that we fear
We put so much focus on material things
But not so much on the joys life truly brings
Sad but true we usually won't know what we had til it gone
With far to much time spent on who's right and who's wrong
But as life progresses and we start to mature
We grow from struggles we all have to endure
We start to pay more attention to smiles and to laughter
And we realize that making others feel good is all that we're after
When receiving a hug is when our heart truly sings
Is when we learn what's important are these special things
