Pay attention.

Watch the way the breeze shifts the leaves

and how the clouds drift slowly above us.

Do no get so distracted by life that you forget

that time refuses to stop,

no matter how much you plea.

And there will be moments you wish to repeat

that you will never get back

and times you cannot wait for something to be over.

But what about the mundane?

What about the casual trips to the mall

and greeting your dogs every time you come home?

Remember those.

Because time is like a tree-

It seems to be tall and everlasting,

through seasons of roughness

the flowers always return,

but the branches will end

and the same leaf can never fall off twice.

Time longs to be appreciated,

admired like she is the most beautiful thing in the universe,

and maybe she is.
