Just to be, enough
Isn’t the world beautiful?
The street I live on, with its green.
How could I ever have thought of leaving this wonderful place?
Just to be here,
to feel the quiet of leaves above the soft rumble of the city,
to appreciate that it’s almost 10pm in the evening,
with the light still lingering in the trees.

Did you write that poem? It’s beautiful! I’m going to copy it, and remember to read it, when I’m looking for gratitude because the world looks gray.
@ghostdancer Aww, thank you! I did write it myself, though I dont really think of it as a poem, just a reflection really. Its so true though, having little things to be grateful for really helps carry you through when the world feels a bit gray.
