Thankful

Things in life we take for granted The heart we trust to love by choice People, easily a deception to an illusion Thankful for life in many ways Death I've seen, troubles of society Thankful it wasn't as bad as it could have been Times struggle just a obstacle Child's eyes grown by lead of example Wasn't easy as I to face sinful human Stay strong in one, thankful my grace Steps I take my own consequences show Who I am I stand a vision myself Not one I'm not, I walk path unseen Righteousness of life, thankful soul Thankful person to have had chance to life Experience I learn be of growth Even in myself a change to perfection Be as one would have me be I live a world not alone inside A world inside my depths peace exist Thankful I am me, thankful he is with me A choice to choose my portrait These colors don't run, freedom I seek Death be not vain but reality Nothing is certain in life, be thankful what you have Many trials we face only truth rein's Even in ourselves a lie can not hide Be thankful to yourself, don't let your portrait be a water one
