Days like this...
The last raindrop to fall from the sky
The first snowflake in a snowstorm
The tiniest ray of sun on a cloudy day
The biggest gust of wind in autumn
Days like this aren't just typical
It's the type of day,
That makes you feel relieved
A refreshing presence just washed your fears away
As if you were opening your eyes for the first time,
Things become clearer
more vivid then they were before
Suddenly all your questions are answered,
And you realized hope is not lost

Birds flying free
The sun setting in the east
The first leaf that falls from a tree
Days like this,
They tell you that things must change
You know how to be different
even when you don't want to be
It's a little reminder that when you feel alone
There is always something larger going on around you
Thriving, with or without you
Gaining its own independence
It inspires you, to look for your own
self-worth
It makes you believe you are capable
To do anything

Water soaks in the dried dirt
The compression comes out
A little seedling fights it's way to the surface
No softer then the skin of a baby
A flower emerges from the inside, and let's it's colors out
Finally being, what it has waited its whole life to become
It's days like this you don't notice
Everything's a blur, anything is done in seconds,
And even though the earth is slowly spinning
Your life is moving at a rapid pace,
You don't pause long enough
You don't appreciate every miracle for what it is
Because you never gave yourself the chance
To see it
It's days like this,
That you make the time
To look at what you have always missed
The joy in simple pleasure,
Not the cost of luxury
For those who know
How valuable life is,
Days like this,
Will tell you
It's priceless
