Olwin, simply beautiful.... love the message, nice easy flow to the poem I would change he last live. The "don't you know" seems to casual to such a well rounded poem. Otherwise I thouroughly enjoyed it ...thanks for sharing

Amazing and so thought provoking to those who never open up their mind to everything around them and except daily gifts that we get every day. I am at lost to what to say as you have penned everything how it should be so that the reader could understand what was being said. A wonderful point to make in a poem about the little things in life, at least that's what I got from this poem. Good job and keep writing.

Yes life is indeed beautiful and we have to learn how to enjoy each moment as well as be thankful...liked the read :)

Very uplifting poem and message, Olwin! When I've taken walks and felt the transcendence and harmony of Nature, it drowns out any negativity. We often get too carried away by ephemeral things.
