Inspired by lyrics of the song There Are Moments, by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Harold PayneThe first breath of the morning whispers in my ear:
‘You’ve got it all inside you.’ I open my heart and it appears!
Even in an ordinary day in an ordinary life, there’s beauty all around me when I look up to see it. I don’t want to miss the rainbows!
There are moments, there are moments, where magic happens unexpectedly.
There are moments, precious moments, where the wonder of the world is all I see.
