Just Living Is Something To Celebrate

‘Tho a mountain will come from time to time,
When you fall down, gives new reason to climb. 
Legs ‘n knees are weak, but I’m still upright,
Even if some days it’s really a fight.

I have learned to be content in this place,
‘Tho outside my window churns a rat race.
Some may see me as not very healthy,
But I consider myself quite wealthy.

By sharing my life with family and friends,
Just being alive, the joy never ends.
Learn to accept what is put on your plate,
Just living is something to celebrate!
