Day 51: Life's Little Gifts.

Did you ever take a moment, to truly see the leaves upon a tree?

Or gazed upon the wonder, of the most mystical bumblebee?

Have you even once released, your heart's true wishes to the sun?

Or howled up at the moon so great, merely for the fun?

If you've never spent the time, to dance in careless rain.

Then it is likely you have never laughed so hard, you felt the pain.

Did you ever share a warming smile, or race an all too eager child?

Or feel a sense of freedom so great, your imagination then ran wild?

Have you ever jumped in puddles, not a single care in the world?

Or climbed a tree to see the view, an ignited passion burned?

Now don't you ever deny yourself, oh such wondrous gifts.

Otherwise, your soul may find, you've never truly lived.
