Appreciate Your Life

by Emma   Dec 20, 2005


I was thinking and noticed the other day,
We complain about everything in life in every way.
We complain that no one ever cares,
And that when we need, no one is there.

We complain about disloyalty, hate and love,
We complain about pain, dificulty and all of the above.
We complain about work, money, and friends.
All this complaining never ends.

Have you ever thought about those living on the street?
Sitting there with no roof in rain and sleet?
Or those who have no legs to walk,
Or those who have no voice to talk.

No one thinks about the simple pleasures,
Movies with friends, family dinners, and other treasures.
Appreciate every moment of life,
Appreciate your kids, husband or wife.

Be happy you haven't been taken away yet,
Be happy for the time on Earth you get.
All I'm asking is think about your future and forget the past,
And thank God this moment is far from your last.
