#WritcoPoemPrompt43
Write a poem on how to do something mundane most people take for granted, such as how to tie your shoes, how to turn on a lamp, how to pour a cup of coffee.

Every breath a person breathes
Every smile a person sees
Every human, like you and me -
Imagine, if the world were deplete.

No smiles, no babies,
No hugs, just maybes.
Maybe the world is there, staying.
Maybe the world is there, rotating.

All the butterflies that fill the sky
Or the spider webs, built up high
All the bees that make honey and hives
The waves of the ocean, all that passes by

How to observe
Is a skill unpreserved
such that societies won't learn
How to appreciate the surrounding world.

Appreciation
For every breath we breathe
For every moment shared
Is a skill so mundane
Is a skill so antiquated
That in today's modernized society
It's muddled in complaining, in whining.
Today's society, lacking in appreciation,
turns precariously, perhaps precociously, potentially....draining.

Protect, share, show appreciation.
