Alive

A poem about still having chances

Today is more than a day.

It’s a blessing in disguise.

Today and any other day,

I’m thankful that I’m alive.

 

With chances still to flourish

And plant seeds to someday grow,

The seeds of inner wisdom

From within will someday show.

 

And still time for me to walk

Or run if I will choose

Down the pathways of my life

With a clarity I can’t lose.

 

Still moments to find the peace

And the patience to endure

All I once took for grant it.

Are taken that way no more.

 

Today I have a blessing.

Today I opened my eyes.

To another day of wonder

And another day to try.
