Have I Appreciated Enough

There’s nothing more pretty than the sunrise in fall,

The colours enhanced by the sun’s gentle call,

It paints the sky in hues of fire and gold,

That masterpiece, to me, never gets old.

But it makes me wonder, in moments so small,

If I can ever truly appreciate it all.

The sun rising softly, the day’s quiet start,

Have I held these moments close enough to my heart?

Have I cherished enough of the sunsets that fade,

The way they linger, the shadows that cascade?

Or did I let some slip on by, caught in the race,

Missing some of what time cannot replace?

My daughter, maturing with each passing day,

Her laughter, her wisdom, in her own thoughtful way.

Have I paused enough to treasure these years?

Or have some gone by, hidden by my unspoken fears?

Seasons change, and the colours blend,

Moments arrive, and moments end.

But in the stillness of an autumn’s embrace,

I ask myself, “have I savoured enough of this life’s grace?”

For there’s nothing more pretty than this fall’s morning light,

Yet it fades so quickly, turning back to night.

Its my hope, standing in this glow of bright,

That I’ve appreciated enough, That I’ve let myself feel all of the light.
