Alive

It's a great day.

It's a brand new day,

The sun is shining,

the birds chirp in the sky

and I am alive.

Through the trials and tribulations,

broken hearts and endless nights,

the healing and moving on, 

and I am still alive.

Young hope

and healing hearts,

hope at what's to come.

and I am happy to be alive.

I watch the sun rise on a brand new day,

Single,together, it really doesn't matter

I know who I am and happy with where I'm at

And I am lucky to be alive

I shouldn't be here

I've cheated death at every turn

I live on stolen time, a blessing to me,

and I'm grateful to be alive.

So good to see a different emotion being evoked; HAPPINESS. We all take what we have for granted and never realize how meaningful it is until it has vanished into thin air. We are lucky to be alive, just as you've said here. I'm glad that you published a more happy poem.
"I watch the sun rise on a brand new day,
Single,together, it really doesn't matter
I know who I am and happy with where I'm at
And I am lucky to be alive"
Good stanza. :)
