Even though
I have had some tough times in life,
I can still stop and look up at those bright yellow sunflowers
So happy in the sun towering over me;
I can still sit by the seagulls and enjoy their company,
Especially when they don’t fly away right away after feeding them;
I can still think of all the other not so tough times in life I have had
As I drift off to sleep in my present home of peace.
