View

Sitting on the terrace,
Looking at the lake,
You could think that life's a breeze,
A yummy piece of cake.

Mountains in the distance,
Trees as green as felt;
Sky so blue and sun so strong,
Anxieties should melt.

Lovely just to sit here
And read or just reflect.
Such a peaceful respite,
Much more than I'd expect.

'Cause it's only briefly
We're privy to such views.
Most of life we do not get
To look at what we choose.

I'll sit here and enjoy it
And soak it up today,
Before reality sets in
And takes it all away.
