Retrospect

RETROSPECT


Laying on the ground below
And looking up, without a care
Through the cluster of red maple leaves
With blotches of pale blue sky in the air

You loose yourself in the moment
That GOD has provided just for you
And all those worries of unpaid bills
Simply seem to fade from view

You know this time will not last
For a responsible person has priorities
But your Lord has given you time to rest
Before you return to a life of proper proprieties

For what is life if you can not enjoy
The simple pleasures we sometimes ignore
Till a kindred spirit of the past
Begs us to take the time to implore

At these times of solitude
It is important to reflect
And understand aspects of all of life
The ability to look back in retrospect
