ENJOY @PoetryByFionaCummings

 

How can you feel blue when you are surrounded by a loving family

Why are there tear stains on your face

When you have a home, a safe place

You never go hungry

 An yet you’re angry

How can you feel lonely

You have so many friends who want to be with you

So many people who tell you they love you

 Your world is always stormy

 That’s what you say

An yet from an outsider, you have it all

Each and every day

Hope comes your way

Luck has a tune

And for you it will play

Pick up the phone, there’s someone for you to call

Walk down the street

A friendly face you will meet

Your house is full of laughter

An yet you are so sad

I wish I understood, what in your life was so bad

I guess we don’t know your past

Pain caused may last

But look what you have now

So much

Your heart people touch

Forget the lines upon your brow

You are a gift to us

Leave that baggage on the bus

And enjoy the journey that is now

Each morning open your eyes and say wow

You are alive

You can drive

Walk

Hear

Talk

And you have sight

For you there is dark and light

Appreciate before it’s too late

The beauty of the sand and sea

The mountains

The birds, hill top views

Beautiful fountains

You can put on your shoes

And just go

Ski through snow

Sail a boat

Exist somewhere peaceful and remote

You have such a lot

 Enjoy what you have got
