Gratitude For Life

Gratitude for life

Can't say how I was born no more 
Enough of no silver spoon stories

Am grateful of whom I am 
I got no regrets and hope it never comes 

Cos I watch my steps in the green grass 
Knowing fully well how deceptive
Life can be with the green snakes 
In the same jungle that feed us all

In  the struggles of survival
I never pleaded for vanity yet 
It never disappear from knocking
On my ways always 

Life is deep this is not a lie 
I can't be so sure never to say never again 
But am sure  I will never fail to live 
In a dying world 

Despite all the temptations of life 
I appreciate the gifts of nature
And hope the greedy never kills us young
Again for nothing no more 
in the  jungle of our survival
