it is not about the big things in life

it is the little things that stay

that build us the memories

we cherish every day

we look to the future

to try and find our place

rather than just look around us

and accept our special place

things could always be better

but really, could they possibly be

you have your health and happiness

and you were all born free

so the next time that you reach

for that far away elusive star

reach for the hand that's in front of you

and accept the joy of where you are
