The Real Things

The things we take for granted

Like life, love, laughter

Those are the things

Buried deep in our hearts.

We need to wake up every day

And laugh

To acknowledge the joy

In our hearts.

Celebrate the ability

To see the wonder of life.

Love with all our hearts

To refill our veins

With the life's blood

Of human communion,

To feel the heartbeat

Of the world.

To keep life sacred

By keeping it in the mundane.

To be mindful of it

And be grateful every day.
