There’s gold outside
It’s not easy to see
But very simple and easy to find
Back in the day it was common place
Stood generations in good stead
You didn’t even realise that you’re touching it
You could smell it
Breathe it in
It felt like dirty hands and grass stained knees
Its value couldn’t be immediately calculated
It’s not measured in screen hours
Or reaching new levels in addictive games
It’s a slower, more rewarding investment
Fresh air and physical movement
Activity that promotes a fuller type of sleep
Not just tired eyes and frazzled brains
We should be more mindful of things
Make the most of the gold outside
