What have you overlooked lately?
Who’s love have you taken for granted?
What experiences in your past
Have you chosen to despise
That actually led you to where you are now?
Who’s praise did you brush off too quickly?
All too easily we find ourselves
Retelling stories of how we’ve been shortchanged;
Making much of the misfortune of life
And making little of the beauty it offers daily.
It is the curse of humanity
To often savour good things temporarily
And yet harbour a sour taste in our mouths
Almost indefinitely.
What have you overlooked lately?
