I saw a pinecone on the road
And it made me smile
I realized I hadn’t seen one in a while
I saw a bird sitting on a branch
It sang a sweet song
Like a tune to a romance
I saw a flower budding from a weed
It shone like the sun
Gave pollen to the bees
I saw the sunrise
In vibrant purples and pinks
The way the cloud covered it
Made it look like it winked
I saw spots of black on gold
And heard a dream whisper
“Dare to be bold”
I saw a rabbit a few feet away
A brave little bunny
Going its own way
I saw the small things
And it made me ponder
How many times
Do we miss all the wonder?
