I Feel So Grateful To Be Alive
The warm sun of the day
Rises way up high
The fluffiest clouds
Fill the deep blue sky

Little birds chirp
Way up in the trees
Momma brings home worms
For her family

On a clump of flowers
A butterfly rests
He is tired from his journey
His stillness suggests

There in the distance
A little brown bunny sits
She hops with her children
Out in the world on their first trip

A dragon fly zooms
Up over my head
He soars like a jet
His wings valiantly spread

A little soft breeze
Brushes my cheek
I see pretty flower petals sway
As I take a peek

I see two worlds
Mother Nature, and man
I look at the beauty
As I so contently stand

I bow my head
And close my eyes
I feel so grateful
To be alive
