Because of You

Dedicated to Katie Bullis

I always used to live my life,
Just watching each day pass.
Every one, a grain of sand,
Slipping through the hourglass.

I took so much for granted.
I never realized what I had.
And when something had gone away,
It really made me sad.

But when I saw you lying there,
So helpless and so still,
I realized that I had a life,
I still needed to fulfill.

I appreciate the air I breathe,
The fact that I can walk,
The food I eat, the things I hear,
And my ability to talk.

Now I’m grateful for those things,
I always failed to see.
Somehow you’ve helped to make it clear:
Some have much less than me.

But now I know, without those things,
A life could still pull through.
I’ve changed my whole perspective,
And it’s all because of you.
