The Greatest Gift

By CRaZyDiAmOnD

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Closed eyes, pretty painted smiles Simple and immoble. . .ROBOTS! Programmed for superior achievement! A tight rope walker You must not falter- just make it to the other end What is the reward? A good name, power among your peers STOP! Breathe! Take everything in Look at what you've been missing! Revel in it- the marvelous beauty Take a break- be warmed by the sunlight, amazed by the moon Let the brilliance of the stars fill your tired eyes Feel every emotion and know your spirit Embrace change, know love Experience the gift.
