Zestful

“Zest is the secret of all beauty.                                                  
 There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.”  ~ Christian Dior       
                                                                                       

I look around in wonderment
The sun is shunning bright
A feisty breeze flirts with my hair 
I breathe with a rhythmic beat
My heart keeps up the tempo…
So why not I live my life zestfully!

A smile hovers around my lips
There’s a twinkle in my eyes
There’s a bounce in my step
and I am humming a tune all right…
So why not I live the day zestfully!

Lo, there’s love in the air
romance lurking in every corner
where every step has a dance
and a melody on every lips…
So why not I live the moment zestfully!
