Wake up,

To the sun shining through the slatted blinds,

Casting those golden rays that turn your four walled coffin into the

Crisp, warm and heavenly haven where no darkness haunts;

Reminding you that today is another day full of a million possibilities;

That the woes of yesterday can be reconciled.

Sit and feel the warmth.

And remember.

We have only one.

 

 

Hear birds chattering and singing to let one another know that they’re there, alive and rejoicing At the rise of that orb of gold that brings them the same warmth and light that causes the branch To grow, on which they’ve put their work,their home, their lives upon.

Working for that drive, that need to survive and experience.

The need to pave a way for their children to live, to survive.

Stop. Listen.

And remember.

We have only one.

 

 

Take in the smell of the coffee, the voices of the ones you love, the nuzzle of your dog, cat, the Hug of your Mom, the smile of a friend.

The safety that you bring them, glowing like that orb that peers at you every morning,

Creating a haven, a home, for the ones you hold dear.

Hold them close remembering;

Feeling…

 

 

So much so that you swear you’ll burst. that the lump that’s been lodged in your throat will come shooting out as waterfalls caressing your face. falling on the cheek that has known so many experiences, that has scrunched up from the laughs, the love, that has drooped with the heartbreaks, the disappointments, that has been there with you through thick and thin that has allowed you to build the life that you have kept on living, to still take charge and move on, to keep greeting the sun, to keep keeping on. and you feel that tear sliding down that cheek  that has seen the memories of a lifetime, wanting more.

Sit back. Feel it.

Take it in,

And remember.

 

 

There is only one.

One sun for this

One earth.

One love to live for in this

One moment.

And there is only one you.

 

 

One you that has the power to make a difference.

One you that has a gift that can help to make this world awesome.  

 

 

And that’s one damn good reason to love life.
