Stolen Moments


A quick glance away
A simple break from the norm
As good as a rest

A five minute doze
Can invigorate at times
Gives strength to go on

A walk by the stream
Reignites all the senses
Connects with nature

The chirp of a bird
The gentle whoosh from the wind
Reminders of life

It’s the little things
That combine to make things good
Start small and feel great
