The Daily Boost #540

Don't stop loving the world. Or yourself.

DON'T STOP LOVING THE WORLD
Annkathrin Slavik and Rene Huber

When was the last time you walked through the forest
And touched all the trees and hug them?
When was the last time you ran through a cornfield
And followed the path a farmer made?
When was the last time you just watched the night sky
And counted the stars that shine for you?
When was the last time you walked through the city
And looked at the people and smiled at them?

Don′t stop loving the world I say
Don't stop loving yourself I say
Don′t stop loving the world
I know I know

When was the last time you called all your best friends
And told them the stories of your life?
When was the last time you woke up at the seaside
And savoured the waves that kissed the shore?
When was the last time you held a new born child
And cried because life is worth it?
When was the last time you climbed on a mountain
And took a deep breath on top of it?

Don't stop loving the world I say . . .
