A reason to live

Perhaps there is a reason to live.

Perhaps it doesn't need to be grand.

Maybe it's enough to lie in a soft bed, eyes closed,

Listening to the rain tap insistently on the window.

Perhaps the reason to stay

is watching the ribcage swell and fall,

And feeling your little heart

fight for you, beat by beat,

so stubbornly.

A heartfelt and mindful poem on the simple pleasures and moments of daily life here...

I like the way this is short but to the point...
and indeed the rain on the window.....and feeling the heart these are reasons enough to stay alive....

Thanks for sharing...

Feel free to stop by and check out one of my poems sometime...

Simple pleasures, life doesn’t have to be complicated. It was a particularly meaningful write because someone I love dearly is struggling with existence at this moment. Enjoyed my visit. Thank you.

Beautiful reminder that life is in the little things.

[John the Baptist]

Life wants to be, despite everything. It continually says, I am.
