The Good Things

The good things in life,
While all around us,
Too often go unnoticed, 
Unappreciated simply
Because they are all around us.

Things like water and air,
Firm Earth and Sun’s light,
And not least, each other,
The companionship of fellows
Be they human or otherwise.

What really matters 
Is the companionship
Sharing this life
For better or worse;
Always a blessing.

Why? Why? do we take these good things for granted... at least until they're taken from us?

Funny how suffering is the essential ingredient to a happy life…
