Thoughts

Morning whispers through the grass

Sunlight shining, and gleaming as time does pass

The morning mist swirling and ebbing away

Leaving clear the bright start to the soon sunny day

I sit here and watch the clouds in the sky

Birds singing and chirping as they pass on by

The leaves in the trees look greener each day

The sound of sweet nothing rings out through the day

The beetles, the worms, the frogs and the bees

Busy as ever, continue with ease

The problems we have do not seem to count

The animals here know of nothing about

To them it’s much better, less people around

They begin to reclaim the life they once found

I sit here and watch as time passes me by

I sit I observe, tears clouding my eyes

For soon it will return to the life we all knew

No time for our families “we’ve so much to do”

People forget , so quickly it seems

To value what’s precious, not made by machines

It’s not in the money, the car that you drive

It’s the feeling each day when you wake up alive

It’s seeing our friends and our families

It’s sitting and watching the plants and the bees

But soon we’ll be busy all over again

Let’s think about now and not dwell upon then

The things we discovered tucked neatly away

In the back of our minds, out of the way

I hope that I’m wrong, I hope that it changes

Our values, our morals, our own selfs behaviours

The time that we spend taking care of loved ones

The time spent with our kids, making freshly baked buns

For me this has been both disaster and learning

Some things are so precious, more so than just earning

The time that we spend is our positive thing

The one born out of despair, a hope it does bring

Remember these times, try not to upset

Let’s make this all worth it, please don’t forget
