Hey Angel, what do you see?
\nIs it a world filled with only pain?
\nHow lucky you are to escape the negative vibes?<\/p>\n
The Angel looked longingly at something
\nI asked her to share what she saw
\nAnd she said, “Oh I wish, I was on Earth”<\/p>\n
The tides so tempting, as they come and go
\nA dash of blue-green, with the lace of white
\nIt teaches how to unwind and enjoy life<\/p>\n
The sand so golden and wet, near the shore
\nHappy to feel the cool touch of the waves
\nMaintaining their identity amidst each change<\/p>\n
The people who are out, to bask in the sun
\nBeneath the shade, they watch the horizon
\nThe adventurous ones surf on the tides<\/p>\n
The Angel’s words reminded me of small joys
\nThat get lost in routine and hurdles of life<\/p>\n
