Appreciate the Magic of Life
The sky is crying
 So now we’re all painted grey
 “We’re all dying,”
 These sad beings say as another one leaves
 Greed is hungry
 And we’re feeding it with our love of money
 
 Their rainbows have become dreary
 Changing to stark black, dull grey, blank white
 Don’t blame the rainbows-
 They’re just chameleonic to
 With all the
 Depression and
 Sorrow and
 Melancholy and
 Heavyheartedness and
 Tragedy--
 Need I go on?
 
 So I say to you today:
 Instead of seeing the sky crying,
 Think its laughing so hard
 And it can’t help but tear up
 Raindrops
 Are droplets of blessings
 From Heaven
 They make the world sparkle and glisten
 Like a diamond with light whizzing this way and that
 
 And instead of seeing the world dying,
 Think its Death wanting these people-
 These amazingly brilliant and talented people-
 All to himself
 Death
 Is a celebration
 Of Life
 We should laugh and rejoice
 Like they’re still with us today
 
 And instead of seeing money as a necessity,
 Think of it as a benefit
 And if we lose it, oh well, it was written in our
 Destiny
 There’s another door waiting
 To be opened
 So stop reading this chapter of your life
 And get on with the next 
 
 So let’s stop and smell-
 Not just sniff,
 Not just waft,
 Not just whiff,
 Not just snort,
 Not just gasp,
 Not just puff-
 But SMELL,
 S-M-E-L-L,
 The roses
 
 Look at what is given to you, and before asking for more,
 APPRECIATE.
 Let yourself gasp at the moment made of
 MAGIC.
 Because, you know what’s beautiful?
 LIFE.
 
 Appreciate the Magic of Life.
 Something we should all live by.
