"We often complain about"

Oh, don't we all, most of the time, complain about this and that until
We fall asleep
Don't we all forget to appreciate, and accentuate the negative instead?
Don't we all like to bitch, without seeing the positive?

Oh yes my friends we do, more then some of us are
Willing to admit
We complain about the weather and say it's too hot,
But are not happy when it gets cold
We complain about our jobs, and how the boss is just too much
We complain about our spouse, until sometimes
It just breaks the relationship apart.

Oh yes my friends let's not deny it, we're all big complainers,
And we know it.


But if we sometimes pause and think, we might suddenly realize
It's not so bad
And maybe then, we'll be so inclined to thank the Lord for
What we've got.

Everyone can relate to this in one way or another. What prompted you to write it? A very contemporary structure, which adds to the read so that you can seperate each segment, giving each verse its own importance within the whole.

Its called being in the moment where everything that you are is resonated, into the experience.
