Right here is where I need to be

To feel the earth underneath my feet

To take in the skies above

When I look around

The earth’s simple treasures

I am grateful beyond measure

We are not here long

We must take in every breath

And savour

As if it's our last

To see clearly

And to listen sharply

As what is here today

Might not be tomorrow.

Right here is where I need to be

Next to you

In temporary peace

While the world swirls

Orbiting

Regardless

I’ll let it be

Because I’m right here

Where I’m meant to be.
