Wonderful

Wonderful is a state of mind.

Without sadness

There can be no joy.

Without rain,

There can be no sunshine.

Without storm clouds,

There can be no rainbow.

Without struggle,

There can be no victory.

Without Yesterday

There can be no tomorrow.

Without curiousity,

There can be no discovery.

Without wonder,

There can be no imagination.

Without tears

There can be no smiles

Without challenge

There can be no inspiration

Without change

There can be no growth

 

 

All of these things make up

Who we are, where we travel

And the path we choose in

life.

If you always had everything

Would the little things matter

to you?

Its wonderful to wake up

to the sunshine.

Noticing little things

And wonder fill your

heart is part of who I am.

I may have an awful day

sometimes

But then even a little thing

happens.

I notice the kindness of strangers,

Appreciate the beauty of the world

Around me

I like to give back to the world

With a joy for living each day

Listening and discovering

What each day brings to me

And embracing the life

That is mine to live.

Life is wonderful

No matter where you

Live.

Its not about money

Or the places you

travel

But in the heart

of you

And how you bring

joy to your friends

And to yourself.

 

Wonderful Just

Is

A state

of mind...

Katie, I think you might have two poems here. My suggestion
is to end the first one after "There can be no growth." -gene.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
