I sat

A silent room

Nothing but a bottle of water for company

Pondering my life, my worth

Thoughts crossing my mind

Imagine the ocean suddenly ran dry

The tap suddenly parched

How differently I would look at my bottle of water

How I would now hold it close to my heart

How I would appreciate it for it's simple beauty

The key to my life


You are my bottle of water

I have passed you by without a thought

Never appreciating how important you are to me

Taking sips of your love whenever I needed you

Closing the cap until I need you again


I read a quote one day, it said

'Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well'

So this is not a love poem, my mind couldn't write something so special

It's just a simple note to say

Thank you

Beautiful Joe I love it

I thought yes I do take something that is so precious for granted when one day it might not be
Thanks

That's pretty good Joe.

Good stuff Joe. A great reminder to spend more time being grateful for what we do have, and less time fretting about what we don't.

Wonderful, Joe. I enjoyed reading this.

This is really interesting. Wish I had written it.

Goes into those "Poems of Life I've Lived' category. Bravo.

Love this......
I learn not to take things for granted. To appreciate simple things in life

Many times we take for granted, what we hold within our hands... And never realize it till later..

Very nice ~~~
