One wish

by Walter   Mar 14, 2018


Sometimes it's just the simple things in life
That will give us the biggest smile
Just when you think you're ready to give up
You'll find will to walk the extra mile

It's sad we all seem to live in a world
Where everyone obsessed with greed
If only we appreciate what we have
To find we have all that we need

There's always so many people worse off
Who really struggle through each day
And it's almost too hard to imagine
To try and live a life in that way

Family and friends will stay together
Whenever these problems arrive
But what it really comes down to the most is
Be thankful you’re healthy and alive

    Ah Walter, this is perfect and every line so true! When we immerse ourselves in 'first world' problems, it's good to take stock and remember how lucky we are to have the things that matter the most. Health is a luxury we all take for granted right up until it's gone. A fab rhyming poem and a brilliant reminder to be thankful :-) x
