Value what you already have

Sometimes I think who am I?
When I look at the stars, I feel so small
in comparison
Even if I were as big as the earth,
I would still have been small as compared to the universe.

There are times when I think
how we become saddened by small failures
when there are scores of people
who face failures every day and yet are smiling.

Am I appreciating what I already have?
Perhaps not.
Why do not people value a thing when they have it?
Why do they only understand its value when they lose it?
We remain in continual pursuit of worldly pleasures
when we could have so much of happiness by simple acts.
Love makes it happen.
