Gifts

Looking down upon a lake
From the top of a tree I climbed,
I see a doe bend to take a drink.
How serene nature can be.

Looking down upon a clover leaf
From the top of an overpass,
I see “little” cars drive around.
How amazing engineering can be.

Looking down upon a schoolyard
From the top of the roof,
I see little children playing hopscotch.
How innocent they can be.

How interesting it is to observe
What a miracle nature is, invention is, life is.
We are blessed in so many ways.
How can we have so much and yet

Still not be happy?
