Appreciation

At break of dawn, I was awoken My eyes open and vision restored I looked around to observe the beauty all around Giving thought to that blessing I realized I was chosen. Chosen for what I asked myself Then I realized had been chosen Picked from a dozen To live another day To fight a battle, to conqueror, to overcome To achieve, to hope, to dream, to succeed To give, to love, to forgive, to appreciate. Appreciation the word we forget to say time and time again To appreciate the purpose of living To come to the realization that life has worth To grow, to embrace trials without failure and fear Today is the time for living Take time to say, a short pray And appreciate that you were CHOSEN.
