Life is a Series of Moments

Life is a series of moments

some easy 

some hard 

some happy 

some depressing 

some anxious…oh so anxious 

This moment is trying 

oh so trying 

Oh the dark side

is so frightening 

Yet I sit amongst soothing waters 

while your soft breezes gently stroke my cheek and your wild birds serenade me from afar  

Your firm, steady  ground perpetually supports me  

This morning I breathe in your crisp clean air 

You are here 
by my side 

I honor each inhalation 

for tomorrow 

is a gift  

never to be taken for granted
