Life

So many things I'm learning to see
The time spent in quiet contemplation
This marvelous world spinning all around me
Is fodder for my rumination

I must admit, daily I find
Things too numerous and amazing
From people to places to quiet embraces
The sights and the sounds keep me gazing

From puppies to rainbows to gothic cathedrals
The magic around keeps unfolding
Each new discovery brings smiles to my heart
Each one I am happily beholding

I'm taking my time to take it all in
Won't chance a new wonder be wasted
Each day brings such joys, where shall I begin
Won't let life rush by me untasted
