1.18 Recently my mind has strayed
Recently my mind has strayed,
Dwelling on times of old,
It is amazing to discover the new way one's mind looks upon a situation,
One sees things much, much differently.
Look around you now,
See the people, the faces,
All of these taken for granted,
What would it take to make you open your eyes and see their preciousness?
When one loses someone, the eyes open, the curtain lifts,
The person that was always there, always around to call on, no longer there,
Now one desires with a burning passion to reach out to that someone as they never would before,
Must it be the same for you? Open your eyes and take delight in all around you.
Feel, share, experience the love and support of those around you,
Take one look around you, take it all in for it may not be there tomorrow,
I may speak to someone today, but who is to say I won't be mourning for them tomorrow?
Now is for the present, so make the most of it! Live it!
