Everything is Awesome!


Everything Is Awesome

 

It can be hard to see the beautify life has

when it hurts, destroys and makes us feel bad.

It is in these times when the smallest of things matter:

a song, a hug, or even a game of Chutes and Ladders.

These are the things I like to treasure

 and they let me know I’ll make it through whatever.

A nice book, a nice day and maybe even some light rain,

can bring comfort and make things okay.

Some good food and some good laughs

 always make my happiness last.

What I’ve found, is if I look around

 Everything is Awesome!

 

Even on those days: those crazy bad days,

ones eased pain comes from the simplest things.

A “Hello!” instead of “Morning.”

A “Thank you!” instead of silence.

Even the warmth of a caring smile.

For me it’s a joke, or maybe some Snickers.

I’m also a sucker for a new action figure.

But in all honesty, what makes my day

is to know my family and friends are okay.

To see them smile, have fun, and laugh

creates fond memories that will always last.

What I’ve found, is if I look around

Everything is awesome!

 

Do you ever take a step back to look at where you are?

Compared to others it may not seem very far.

Never forget that your path was made for you.

 With all its twists and turns, and car wrecks too.

But keep the faith, your GPS always works.

 Never stop to second guess, and always know your worth.

I know when one door closes another will always open

 and on the way from here to there I’ll never forget to stop and stare.

For life has innumerable things to offer, and

what I’ve found, is if you look around

Everything is Awesome!
