i often feel like i’m alone in the beauty

the beauty of driving my car around town

the beauty of singing my favorite song

the beauty of walking into an air conditioned room

the beauty of hearing my friends laugh and cry

the beauty of dancing under the disco ball

the beauty of calling my sister after a few days

the beauty of coming home to hugs and smiles

the beauty of watching someone grow

the beauty of soaking up the sun on a hot day

i often feel like others overlook the small, perfect things

the things that make life worth living

so i just sit alone in the beauty

soaking in

every

last

drop.
