Summer’s sunshine through a cold, dark winter How yearned for, While in June though almost never Blossoming spring we can only imagine bareness of fall while in Hues of leaves fallen we might though appreciate even then Love’s unsought, so it’s essence unless one’s been through abhorrence Just as a family values none more than an orphan What eyes are to blind Hands and feet to the disabled Poverty stricken, wealth the sick, health seldom we realize the worth of what we possess Just until we know we may any of it lose, Ignorant, unaware Oblivious we are of our own breath every single Or heartbeat, involuntary, as so natural We don’t value while alive So witnessed I have until moments last Knocks at the door when death Learn we life’s worth “Please save me doc, I won’t drink anymore”, she promised when in alcohol she her life had drowned.. “Please don’t let my Mom die Doc” he begged But not too often called and for ages hadn’t visited Gaze at those stars, the moon The morning’s yet to come but past this will be soon When tomorrow comes, today will be gone Dusk is new, but an end to dawn Sun rises to set Finish is certain already when we start I hope what’s deprived of us isn’t all that should matter Obliged I wish what we have for we rather For no one and nothing lasts forever Before we know, it’ll all be over
