The key is to stop looking

and start to really see.

This world is so vast

and almighty,

we shouldn’t focus on

how we disagree.

Nothing is a guarantee

and it may not be

your cup of tea but

let’s each become a devotee

and set ourselves free

of all this negativity.

There’s more to life than

the chaos they show on TV;

we must stop focusing

on all the debris,

appreciating the world

doesn't take a PHD.

You don’t have to view

the bigger picture to agree,

it’s the little things

that are key!

Have you ever stopped

to meet a bumblebee?

Or watched the leaves dance

atop a chestnut tree?

Or dipped your feet in

the never-ending sea?

Have you ever even thought

about the journey of a chickpea,

or the life of a manatee?

There is staggeringly more

to this world than just ‘we’,

and we have been given

the chance to oversee

it all for free!

The key is to stop looking

and start to really see.

You are a VIP.
