When I write.

Be thankful

Stop for a second,
drop everything you're doing,
look all around yourself,
and let lose in the moment.
Appreciate everything,
the big and the small.
In the blink of an eye you might lose the chance,
to show them your gratitude.
Life may seem long,
but it's shorter than you think.
So don't look for excuses,
to be thankful, kind and loving.
