Moneywise, I'm far...
from rich, but in life
and love, I sure am rich...
for that, I'm eternally grateful.
Today was not made
for some; their eyes never saw
dawn's sunrise; mine did,
for that, I'm eternally grateful.
Notwithstanding my share
of bleak, hard-to-get-through days,
I still cherish the attar of roses,
for that, I'm eternally grateful.
I've ridden the seesaw of life;
felt it's highs, lows and in-betweens,
yet still find it all worthwhile,
for that, I'm eternally grateful.
I've walked the razor's edge,
swam the tempestuous ocean of despair
and managed to make it to safe harbor,
for that, I'm eternally grateful.
I've been shoved and sucker-punched
by misfortunes time and time again,
but by the grace of God, I'm still standing...
for that, I'm eternally grateful.
