The moments of life

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life,

We often forget to take a moment and strive,

To appreciate the beauty that surrounds us,

And the wonders that nature does thus.

The chirping of a bird or the rustling of leaves,

The gentle flow of water or the rustling of trees,

All these sights and sounds that we take for granted,

Are a reminder of the world that we're granted.

We're surrounded by beauty at every turn,

In the way the sun sets or the way the flowers burn,

In the way the stars twinkle or the way the moon shines,

In the way the clouds move or the way the wind chimes.

It's easy to get lost in the stress and the strife,

To be overwhelmed by the struggles of life,

But if we take a moment and stop to look around,

We'll see the beauty that in nature is found.

So let's take a moment and appreciate,

All the beauty that surrounds us, before it's too late,

For in the end, it's the memories we'll hold,

Of the beauty that nature does unfold.
