LOOK AROUND


      Did you see the moon rise
      Watching the stars disappear behind the light
      Take the time to look up while walking
      Down the street in this busy life

      What have you done to see the world
      In all its beauty and feel the love all around
      Did you hold the hand of a friend
      Tell them of the special place they have in your heart

      Take a moment to ponder the wonders
      Some many of which surround you each day
      Watch the small step of a child
      Or listen to the stories of the elderly

      Why does the world spin like your mind
      When you can slow it down
      Just take a moment and look around
      See the life that is yours to share
