Unrecognized Significance

Nowadays everybody is looking down at their phones
On their computer 
On their iPad
Or watching television
Nobody really sees all the true significance in this beautiful world 
All it takes is two seconds to look up and look around
I promise you that you will fall in love with what you see
The gorgeous trees and flowers spread across the light green grass of the town park
The woodpecker and its extravagant colors pecking away at the elder oak that has been there for decades
Possibly the love of your life with those dark dreamy brown eyes who is looking for directions
But no, you miss all of these beautiful things because you are too interested with what new trend is here
It's time to put down your life-wasting electronics and take a step into that refreshing  air 
We wake up every morning with exhausted eyes to see how many likes we got on our most recent post
We go out with friends and never really verbally communicate unless you find a funny or breathtaking post
I'm telling you not to let your life waste away by staring at that screen
Look up and open your eyes to all of life's Unrecognized Significance

  • You

    You
    By Eric Davis

    The happiest man I will ever be

    That’s the kind of man that you make me

    One who is full of love and passion

    Somebody who isn’t angry but full of compassion
  • Beautiful

    Beautiful
    One of many words to describe you
    The way your dark brown hair shines and reflects off the bright afternoon son
    The way your teeth align to make the most perfect smile
    The way your blue eyes shine like the ocean in July
  • Broken

    Broken
    By Eric Davis

    I am truly broken without you my love
    You are more heavenly than an angel sent from above

    I usually don't write stuff this kind and sweet
