In Love With Life

With each living breath
Running leaping and dancing
Holding hands with time
Forever will have to wait

My heart a clock
Each beat a second
Each minute a blessing
Each hour a gift

Waking to new days
Each one a miracle
Another fresh throbbing chance
To make a difference

To place a smile
On another human face
So lucky am I
Just to simply exist

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."
