I view a new dawning day
like I never did before
I discover 'unknown'
then begin to explore.
I touch a flower
feel its early morning dew.
I hear a bird sing,
I learn a song I never knew.
I see a sunrise
as I absorb its heat.
I take a different path
walk down a new street.
I meet a stranger,
say, 'Hello.'
I watch a child,
before me, grow.
I taste a raindrop
quenching thirst.
I watch a cloud
storming to burst.
I take each of these moments
one at a time
cause I now realize,
life's much too short of sublime.
