Awake

life passes

To sit on a stool and stare at the stars

To sit in a pool and watch all the cars

To lay back in the grass and dream a great dream

To hope and to love and to cry and to scream

Life is just life with no guarantee

But without just this life there is really no me

I am glad today that I awoke

To sit on a stool and stare at the stars

To sit in a pool and watch all the cars

To lay back in the grass and dream a great dream

To hope and to love and to cry and to scream

This day to me, my Lord has given

My ambition to live, my heart is now driven

Author's Note

There are times in life when we just need a few minutes.

"I am glad today that I awoke..." This is a simple, lovely sentiment. Your poem did indeed give me a few minutes, reminding me of the joys of looking and dreaming in a hectic world. Good write!

Thank You for reading. So often I forget the little things, like waking up in my busy days.

I love this! It's sort of flowy, and the words are just amazing.

Thank You. This was written at a time when I questioned the very necessity of my existence as we all do from time to time I think. Thank you for reading.
