The Wondrous Gift of Life


How sad it is that we tend to take life for granted and rush through life, forgetting to take the time to reflect on the small everyday blessings that cross our path.
Remember -  Everything is a once in a life time experience!
So stop and look around, because you shall never experience just that moment ever again. . . and that's what makes life so precious.

Max - My Everyday Companion


The Wondrous Gift of Life. . . 


We walk a hidden path today
leading to no place at all
except along this path
we stop to share
sweet memories
only known to us.

We walk side by side
as we always do
my best friend and I.
You look out for me
and I for you
two hearts together now.


Along this special route 
we embrace the beauty
that crosses our path.
With nature so abundant
and solemn tranquility
as wondrous as you and I.

My friend and I
take nature by her hand
cherish each step
through nature's varied form.
Spirits that will long linger
after this moment is gone.


Our muffled footsteps 
echo in the stillness
disturbing the smallest
of earth's creations
waiting to be seen
never to return again.

Heaven-sent images
each as exciting as the last
intertwine our minds
and hearts,
like small souvenirs
collected along our way.

Someday this secret path
leading to no place at all
I shall walk alone.
Memories that are known to us
I'll have to carry in silence
in my heart and soul.

But the small everyday blessings
and sweet images of you
shall continue to cross my path
and embrace my soul,
because that's the wondrous
gift of life.
