GRATITUDE

I AM SO THANKFUL

I am so thankful for this day,

When I think upon the many things

that make it differrent from the rest;

It’s unique in at least a million ways,

Here’s some of them I like the best:

I am ALIVE today, to enjoy this life

That’s mine alone, and no other’s

To move beyond the toil and strife

And feel the Love of countless lovers

Who planted flowers along the way.

…I am so thankful for this day!

The Earth turns on, beneath my feet

And the stars swirl above my head,

I taste the joys of life, so sweet;

I’m among the quick, not the dead!

I am so thankful for this day!

This day is what it is because

Of all the days now gone before.

I‘m the sum of my deeds and flaws,

Of all my days, and something more:

I am thankful because I know

I‘m more than just the sum of parts;

I am the flower in the snow,

I am the joy in countless hearts!

Yes, I‘m so thankful I can say:

I‘m so thankful for this day!
