Here is the second draft of a poem I'm working on, comments welcomed...
Life is Beautiful
Rainy Mornings
Cappuccino afternoons
All we have are the moments we choose
And the eyes we use to feel them
Life is beautiful
When the night falls
For the stars are there
Behind our closed eyes
Calling to us
It has taken thousands of years
For them to tell us a minute of their stories
If only we would listen
Instead of sleeping through
Their tales of eternity
I see pain
And joy
Of my reflection in the mirror
Forever showing yesterdays
I wish I could hold on to
But I am the clock’s face
Life is beautiful
When a child smiles
They do it because they can
In their eyes lies a secret
The secret of life
It’s not in our future
It’s not something we can find
We’ve somehow forgotten the secret
As we’ve grown old
Children know
That Life is Beautiful
Life is Beautiful

For them to tell us a minute of their stories
If only we would listen
Instead of sleeping through
Their tales of eternity
I see pain
And joy
Of my reflection in the mirror
Forever showing yesterdays
I wish I could hold on to
But I am the clock’s face
Life is beautiful
When a child smiles
They do it because they can
In their eyes lies a secret
The secret of life
It’s not in our future
It’s not something we can find
We’ve somehow forgotten the secret
As we’ve grown old
Children know
That Life is Beautiful
Live the life you dream
