The Gift

When I awake the first thing I say Thanks Oh Lord for this blessed day Today is a gift that is for sure One to enjoy and not just endure Be sure you embrace what life has to give For it is your choice in the one that you live Make yourself the person you want to be Not the one in the mirror you don't wish to see For each day starts out one and the same But it's how we live it that scores the game The only way to know if you gave it your all Is to make sure you had a chance to stumble and fall Tonight when you reflect back on how the day went Be thankful of the gift and how it was spent December 27, 2016

Love this. However bad things sometimes seem there is always so much to be grateful for, as you say, it's our choice to see and feel it !
