Do I?


Do I smile like the sun never stops shining,

Or cry with raindrops falling down my face?

Do I dance with the wind and the water,

Or remain stil as an unmoving mannequin?

Do I see the magic in the life all around us,

Or are my eyes dull and my spirit broken?

Do I care for others around me, 

Or am I to absorbed in myself to care for anyone else? 

Do I love like I've never been hurt, 

Or do I stay sheilded behind the walls that I have built to keep others out?

Do I, do we, take enough time to notice each other and look at the real meaning

of friendship, love, and kindness?

<p>This poem is about the things that we miss everyday in life because we don&#39;t care to pay attention to the people around us as much as we should. I would love some feedback on it.&nbsp;</p>
