A Velvet Bolt of Realization

Some people forget how good they have it.

They complain and breathe, but don't live.

Some people ignore what they've already got,

Heads full of what more life can give.

Some are so quick to the horse's mouth

They actually forget it's a gift.

Sometimes I forget how good I have it.

I complain and breathe, but don't live.

Sometimes I ignore what I've already got,

Head full of what more life can give.

Sometimes I'm so quick to the horse's mouth,

I actually forget it's a gift,

But it's a good start when work starts in five minutes

and I'm not even dreading it.
