i don't appreciate the stairs i walk on every single day. sometimes, i complain that point A to point B is too far for me to walk. i don't appreciate the rain that suddenly comes after many sunny days. the water wets my shoes and leaves my socks soaked. sometimes i walk around campus and wonder what i'm doing with my life. i always feel so lost. i look around and see unfamiliar faces. faces holding all types of emotions. i find that beautiful. i also find it beautiful that every bystander becomes part of your life, because for some reason, you and them are in the same place at the same time. it's even more beautiful when it happens in the most natural way. As if, it was meant to be. how crazy is it that two worlds can cross paths to become one? but there are worlds that keep on moving parallel to each other. I look around and see life. I see that i need to appreciate more. Appreciate the elevator that takes too long. The professor that cusses at 8 o'clock in the morning during class. Appreciate those who smile at you when walking through crowded hallways. Appreciate the idea that everyone is living so complex, just like me. Appreciate the hustle. Appreciate the process. Appreciate the unknown. Appreciate whats in store for me. Appreciate knowing and not knowing all at once. Appreciate the growth. Appreciate the balance that appears after the unbalance.  Appreciate me. Appreciate another day. Appreciate life.
cpm // im not so lost after all.

We don't appreciate what we have
until we lose it
We don't see the glow on the skin
until we bruise it
We don't believe in miracles
until we need it

We don't appreciate farming
until there's famine
We don't appreciate water availability
until there's water scarcity
We don't appreciate wealth
until we see poverty
We don't appreciate good health
until we experience infirmity

We don't appreciate democracy
until we see tyranny
We don't appreciate loyalty
until we see jealousy
We don't appreciate liberty
until we see slavery!

Stabbing pains in my chest
I ache when you’re not around
My world’s a bit empty
When you’re nowhere to be found
My actions merge together
My hours roll into days alone
I think about you constantly
In my head you are sewn
So tightly and so much
I need to see you now
Even if it’s only a tender touch
A soft kiss, a loving stare
To name but a few.

No feeling is permanent
No emotion is forever
So I know soon I’ll be happy again
When we are, when we’re together
I appreciate my feelings of loneliness
Because I know they won’t be forever.

The times I can’t cope
The days when I’m all alone
They show promise, they show hope
I’ll see you soon, that I know
So really, time apart makes me realise
It makes me wonder
It’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder
For that, I am glad, for that, I appreciate
I guess now when we’re apart
I know I just have to wait
With your presence only in my heart.

No feeling is permanent
No emotion is forever
So I know soon I’ll be happy again
When we are, when we’re together
I appreciate my feelings of loneliness
Because I know they won’t be forever.

I appreciate that we were once friends
I appreciate that now we’re more
Because it’s worked out great in the end
Your soul, yourself is what I saw
I appreciate, too, that you feel the same
My soul, myself is what you saw again.

No feeling is permanent
No emotion is forever
So I know soon I’ll be happy again
When we are, when we’re together
I appreciate my feelings of loneliness
Because I know they won’t be forever.

APPRECIATE
Jimmy Hegan Sep 2015
Appreciate Someone's feeling with gratitude and attitude,
Appreciate  Someone's awards with bottom of your heart,
Appreciate Someone's friendship like you are her best friend,
Appreciate Someone's good deeds and  works  & give rewards to him,
Appreciate Someone's love and become bridge between two lovers,
Appreciate  Someone's nature , anger  and name  to give respect.

I appreciate the comforts God grants me daily
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                         An Acrostic.
I appreciate the comforts God grants me daily.

And I ask with a willing heart ; May I contribute
Perhaps if I list at least five without obligation
Poetry is the first gift that I today can attribute
Rhyming line after line in our poetry Legation .
Easy when you’re under the spell of your Muse
Clever to add value n share gifts to the World
I appreciate the comforts God grants me daily.
Another gift that I see is the love everlasting
Today and everyday so unconditionally
Earth Angels guide me always keep romancing

Treat others as you would be treated.Tenderly.
Home’s where a heart is n your jig for dancing
Eternal everlasting friends best to practice on.

Can you appreciate all the comforts you have.
Only me for one, I do yes I do . For God I’m one
Memory is the next comfort that I cherish of all
For it serves me well and as far as I recall
On occasions ,I talk remembering to pause
Reacting to the other persons conversations
The secret is not to talk at one ,be mutual.
So tell me can you really appreciate your gifts

God needs you not to attend church to praise
Oh these days Gods spirit is environmental
Dedicated to you by his will and your intention

God you carry with you and that is inspiring
Remember to thank him for your gift of rhyme
And know it really doesn’t matter at all t’rhyme
Now do you appreciate the gifts of comfort
The command of the English language a plus
See the words that you accumulate daily.

Making three words fit where you should one
Especially on a poem with a syllable count

Dear poets ,that is a true gift of God’s spirit
And let no man (or woman ) tell you otherwise
I appreciate the comforts God grants me daily.
Let me say the number is beyond limitless.  
You can read my words n challenge if you will.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Written by Philip.
I always appreciate the comforts God grants me daily
Appreciate,
No matter how small you think something is,someone somewhere wishes for that very thing,
Appreciate,
No matter how bad you think your life is,someone somewhere can't even breathe independently,
Appreciate,
As you're hating on your body remember that someone somewhere has no limbs,sight nor hearing ability,
Appreciate,
Its easy to take our families and friends for granted,but we must
Appreciate them.
For others wish they had even just one friend.
Appreciate.
We take so many things for granted,perhaps its our nature,but gratitude is definitely something worth pursuing.

I appreciate you
though I despise you
to the ends of the earth.

I appreciate you
for helping create me
yet I loathe everything
you do and say.

You killed me so many times
and still I appreciate you
for teaching me the strife
I will
never
need to cause my friends.

You ripped me apart
every single day
but I appreciate you
for reminding me that
I deserve much better.

People hate you
I appreciate you
though you've done me
more wrong than them.

I love your soul
but I can't stand
the rotted rat you
really are.

In the end please know
I appreciate you too
for my father

I would like you to stop for a minute.
Look around.
What do you see?
Your mum? Your dad?
Maybe older or younger sibling(s)?
Do you have children?
Best friends?
Please. Stop for a minute.
Appreciate that not everything with those people is perfect.
Not you, not them.
But appreciate, even though they may not show it,
They love you.
The quirks, the ups and the downs,
The mood swings,
Appreciate them.
Care for them, love them,
Hold them,
Be there for them, even if they aren't always there for you.
Please. Appreciate every little thing.
