The Good Things in Life
The first drop of rain on parched earth,
His company on days full of mirth,
Her words of comfort in a time of need,
A hot croissant and a glass of mead,
A child's merry laughter,
Your favourite toy to fall out of a cracker,
The joy on your parents face,
These are the things we ought to chase.
But most of us spend our lives,
Running after success and wealth,
Forfeiting the importance of good health.
Forgotten friendships,
Irreparably broken relationships,
These are the side effects of neglect,
Making us feel depleted and upset.
The remedy is very simple:
A long drive with your beloved,
A meet-up for lunch with friends so loved,
Those small intimate family parties,
Or sitting alone under a night sky so starry.
Very true:)
