Thankful For Living

I see the grass growing above my feet, The erratic flying of the humming bee, A profusion of flowers comely and sweet, I am thankful for what I hear and see. The beaches filled with swimmers having fun, Ice-cream and cold drinks selling in abundance; Thanks to the blue sky and the blazing sun, As the calm seas, the atmosphere enhance. I observe the generosity of the human heart, The unwelcoming storms of my inhabiting; Cleansing the sins for a fresh start, Curing the wrongdoings by tears subsiding.
