They say
Every day
Passes by a thousand times
Like a movie fluidly stuck on rewind
Every day
A thousand hearts swell
And a thousand more need restored
Every day
A new life starts with innocence
Yet lives are lost
Every day
At war or at your local drug store
It occurred to me that
Every day
Everyone
Sees
Every day
The same
Don't you see?
That
Every day
You have the chance
To pass the time between sunrise and sunset
You have the chance
Every day
To spend time with someone you love or never met
Every day
People collide in times of trouble
Making struggle and strife offset
Every day
A phrase is framed
That can take your breathe away
Don't you see?
Every day
Is beauty undefined
By spoken word
Or open eyes
So take it in and realize

*Every day matters
