Embrace Life by Christine Tabaka

Embrace Life



Toss a stone into a pond,

watch the circles grow.



Grab a silver ring, from the

merry-go-round of life.



Whistle into the wind,

feeling vibrations run through you.



Skip along a walkway,

inviting giggles to emerge.



Put aside your chores,

and let the daily grind rest.



Time and time again,

we miss the modicums of joy.
