Day 74 , there must be more
to see and learn everyday
in the minutest ways, thru the daily haze
to become aware, not live in the bore.

To see how I choose, so not to loose
My standing and safety, I pick
ways to keep myself safe, it is such a waste
rather than live my life to the quick.

So awareness is, the first step that is
the way to change so they say
I will do my best, at this noble quest
Committing to an adventurous way.

I will exert my will, and I will not spill
the proverbial milk, so they say
it’s a treasure true , for both me and you
the gift to be used on the way.

For a life brave and bright, up the mountain called life
We climb out of bed every day
May we use our gifts, tho’ our purpose may shift
while we merrily go on our way.
