Everything is Awesome

Everything is awesome,

It’s true,

Think of what you love,

Of what you have,

And what you will.

Think of the foods you devoured

That makes your mouth water.

Mine waters

With the memory

Of cheesecake,

And the smell of bbq ribs.

Think of the small things,

Like the memes that make you smile,

Of the stupid dad jokes you’ve heard,

That made you laugh inside,

But pretend “endured.”

Everything is awesome,

You’d better believe it.

You’re alive, you’re breathing,

You’re able to imagine,

Conceiving

Ideas to change your life,

To change your world.

Everything is awesome,

Fun selfies,

Dizzying crushes,

Rain falling on a pink sunset,

The smell of fresh cut grass,

The sound of an infant laugh,

Or the feeling of a dog licking your toes.

Everything is awesome,

It’s a fact,

But you can’t ignore them

Or turn your back

On the awesome things that life brings you.

Savor the small pleasures,

Like a bite of that cheesecake.

I’m seriously hungry,

But you know what’s awesome?

The fact that I’m alive to eat

And breathe

And laugh

And take pleasure

In the small things.

That’s why everything is awesome.
