HAVEN'T MISSED A THING

June 11, 2015

I have never seen the sunset

I have never seen the snow

I have never worn fancy clothing

Or impressed anyone with my flow

But

I have walked along the sidewalk

And I've stopped to see the birds

Wind blowing on my hair

And still making my way down the curves

I've been stung by a bee

And fallen as I run

Scraped a knee and slept under the stars

All simple things as you can see

But why do they make me feel so happy?

Is not the quality that makes something awesome

Is the experience that it brings

So don't get caught up in material things

Cus as you can see

I haven't missed a thing

Something wrong with this poem?
