Do Not Take Advantage of What You See


Of all the bad in life there must be some good,

so take a look around as you walk through the woods.

There are trees as old as you standing tall and proud,

and there are tinly little critters that crawl on the ground.

Somewhere in  the middle is where you seem to be,

but nothin can outshine the beauty that iI see. 

You do not know, but you hvae made my life new. 

You have taken what was a shell and made it something true.

If not for you, then where would I be?

Somewhere on the ground beneath the trees. 

You have given me wings so that I can fly away.

You make me feel as though nothing stands in my way.

You will never know how truely awesome you are,

but I will spend my life explaining while we look at the stars.

I am currently attending college to become a pediatrician. I have always had a love for poetry, but I have never shared any of my own works to anyone until now. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to give my tips on how I can improve!
