From childhood we see the possibility
The moon
Space travel
The galaxy
The hero and the heroine
Pegasus the noble steed
Growing up is hard to do
Consumed by the challenges in front of you
Attuned to the path, the journey within
Don’t forget from where you begin
The money and the superficial attitude
May take over
But, It’s just not you
You will break through
When the greasy pole beckons
And you climb to the top
Don’t be disheartened
When the view you expected
Is not what you thought
When the stress and the madness
Take up all of your time
And a feeling of sadness is shadowing your mind
You can stop and reset to find another direction
Hold your conviction
Don’t be afraid of you decisions
Disregard the criticism, the looks & the whispering
You are stepping outside of your comfort zone
You are not alone
That’s a life of experience
With all of this in front of you
Don’t forget to breath, you can always start anew!
Open your mind
See what you can do
Somehow by looking forward
Many stagnate with a lack of imagination
Their sense of art and creation on hold
Their identification replaced by a role or a label
Their lack of enjoyment
Often through their employment
Gains them a sense of entitlement
Sitting at a desk in the corner of a grey office
Never reaching enlightenment
Or being bold
Just rank and file
So make the time
For the things that life provides
Always see the wonder and joy in the simplicity
The scenery, the faces, the places
The everyday normality
Don’t let friendships slide for another day
Slow your pace to win the race
Don’t look down, you’ll miss out
Look up to the clouds
Put a smile on your face
Replace that scowl
Open up, don’t close in
Accept the joys and the wonders you receive
Realise that there are surprises all around you
Opportunities within your grasp
Let them in
Don’t walk past
Look up and encounter
A moment that could change your life
A smile that could connect you
An act of kindness that lights you up
Rewards you as you never thought
Leaving a smile on your face all day
Like magic but with no tricks, just a happiness , you can’t explain
A chance conversation, that gives you motivation
Engages you in all kinds of ways
Don’t leave these things for another day
It’s time
Now go out and play
