never surrender

up and down and all around
the globe people are laughing.
living life to the fullest
with the best of everything
at their fingertips.
green grass, warm sun, flowing waterfalls,
the beauty of Mother Earth is astounding.
deep within hearts are breaking
having never opened up to all there is,
tunnel visioned captives
to all they think is gone
when before them is a treasure
that will always be constant.
people are fickle, most can not decide
which side to get out of bed on
or which way to work to drive.
amazing the priorities that
some allow to change the course
and become roadblocks to happiness
that must come from within.
i'd much rather laugh than cry
and wipe up the milk
so that nothing sticky ever
ever keeps me in one place.
too much living to do
too much laughter to share
rather go out with a smile on my face
and keep them all guessing
at just what i have been up to!
