The Little Things
The Sun wakes up everyday with a big smile.
She's so bright and beautiful,
She fills the whole world with light,
And She is free to shine as she wants
However, she's stuck in one position.
Her neighbours walk around her forever
Without taking a step closer
They love her but never come to visit
As you can see from the title,
Writing about the Sun wasn't my intention.
But let's see where this train stops.
Some days, I enjoy her rays
But when I look at her to give her a compliment,
I can't keep my eyes open
I'm sure she thinks I'm a snob
But she wouldn't understand
I'm sure she's been lonely for some months now
The beaches are empty
The roads are free,
The stadiums are like grave yards
Everyone is at home, hiding, holding on.
At this time we are like the Sun,
Most of us are stuck in one place.
Everyone loves from afar
But no one comes to visit.
Maybe that's why I thought of the Sun today
Well, Sun or not, I really miss life before
I miss the ease of going outside
I miss the norm of hugging people
I miss buying stuff without sanitizing it
I miss talking with people outside the virtual world.
I miss attending Church and Weddings
I miss eating out
I miss going to the movies
I miss having the choice to stay at home
I know things would go back to normal.
And I know they will soon.
Until then, I'll enjoy the Sun from my home,
Love my neighbours from afar,
Appreciate the Little things,
And Thank God for the little blessings each day.
