Alive

      
Thank you for today      
for every day you gave      
for the birdsong      
through my window      
all the colours of a lifetime      
the blue, the green, the grey      
     
Thank you      
for the sun      
for the moon and stars    
their constellations      
smiling down from heaven      
     
Thank you      
for the ocean and the land    
this Earth to walk upon      
the chance to share      
its wonders and delights      
     
Thank you      
for each breath      
each taste of freedom    
a treasure in the air    
such seeds of joy      
for a fleeting heart
