Hidden Blessings of Life...

We are so busy in our daily lives that we miss out on the little things around us that are signs of love, hope and care.

There are little things in life that we overlook,
They may seem small and insignificant,
But their true value must be carefully understood.
Be it a friendly smile or a loving gesture,
From a known person or from a complete stranger.
The affectionate touch of a mother,
And at times the seemingly harsh words of a father.
That strange feeling that follows a friendly fight,
Which often pushes one to reconcile.
The golden rays of sunlight peeping from behind black clouds,
The moon's charming glow lightening up even the darkest unfriendly grounds.
The cool breeze under the shade of that crooked tree on a scorching sunny day,
That stiff cold butterfly that when kept in the sun regains the strength to fly again.
A candle's wick burning so strong,
Even in the presence of that dark dangerously wild storm.
Love, hope and care is needed from time to time,
They come in different forms throughout the many stages of life.
Sometimes in state of confusion, at times in state of despair,
One has to look for them, cause they are always there.
It is in moments like these that we often realize,
There is so much to be grateful for and many endless surprise.
Cause these are the hidden blessings of life,
They are priceless and demand only to be felt and recognized.

Sometimes we are so lost in this busy life that we forget to enjoy the small things that make us happy. The day we recognize this everything will change and we'll feel happy enormously.
