Inhaling Life

Inhaling Life

A hot shower on a cold winter day,
Receiving a phone call from an old friend,
A home-cooked meal at mom’s,
A surprise visit from a girlfriend,

A small gift on a random day,
Being let over during rush hour,
Having the doors opened for me,
Being happily greeted by my dogs,

Catching up with family,
Complimented by a stranger,
Seeing the joy on a child’s face,
Reading a book when the power’s out,

Hearing an elder’s stories,
Feeling the sun’s presence,
Working out early in the morning,
Gazing up into infiniteness,

Seeing a couple in love,
Helping those in need,
Learning more about myself,
Watching a favorite movie,

The little things in life,
Always placing a smile on my face,
The little things in life,
I vow to never take for granted,

As I awake in the morning,
I fully breathe life in,
Appreciating the day ahead of me,
Cherishing all of the little things.
