Breathe in the Moments

Hope for the future 

but live where you are. 

Always look ahead 

yet don't look so far, 

that you miss the beauty right before your eyes. 

Don't miss the flowers that rise 

and the splashing of brooks 

that leap with surprise. 

And do not miss the laughing children, 

the clouds that sweep in, 

the ice cream that's frozen -- 

but soon melts as the sun hits its surface. 

Don't miss the drips and the sweetness!

Don't miss the smiles from people you love. 

Don't be so busy that you don't stop to give hugs. 

Remember to BREATHE 

for moments are but breaths themselves.

So take them in, breathe the moments in. 

And remember that God is in 

each minute, each second, each moment we live in.
