Life

Be Grateful for what you have

Be grateful for what your given

Because all isn’t handed to you lightly

It has to be earned

It has to be learned

It has to be cherished

Precious gifts greater than yourself

So open your heart

Open your mind

Take in everything around you

For one day it could all be gone
