I love it
when the warm breeze blows through my messy hair
when the hot sun warms me up
when I look up and all I can see is the clear blue sky
And all I can hear is the chirping of the birds
or see my shadows just staring at me during the day
I love how the clouds always move and get to travel the world
how the sun goes down but it never touches the ground
how the stars never move or leave my sight
But how many of us cherish these little moments?
How many of us has opened our eyes and looked around for once?
To see the birds fly towards the horizon
To watch the stars glitter at night
or to smell the sweet scent
of the summer breeze
So don’t delay
let us hurry
for the sun is going down
for the clouds are running off
and no longer will we hear the chirping of the birds
or see the shine of the brightest star.
