The Reality of Life

to live is to learn and i have learned a lot
so everyday i am thankful for everything that i got
i thank god for everyday every breath that i breathe
for opening my eyes giving me a chance to see
another chance at life another chance to do right
another day to live to read between the lines
see reality for what it is
what it is is just that as real as it gets
learning to wear the shoe where ever it fits
