Wonderful Gift of Life

Wonderful gift of life 
By Michelle Morris

It's raining on my birthday
What a wonderful gift of life
The grass will be green again
Reaffirming nature's might

Her resilience is a lesson
For each and every one of us
So many bountiful blessings
To our families and ourselves

The soil thirsts for water
Like our souls search for the light
Nature and the Universe
All part of God's creations bright

The flowers bloom in wonder
Leaves decorate the trees
The ocean and rivers swell
With Heaven's emotional release 

Every day is a blessing
Each birthday another year
May we all make the most of them
With our loved ones near and dear 

May the light we seek be brilliant
Highlighting all that is good in us
And may we feel eternally grateful
For the loving gifts from above 

No matter where you live
No matter what you believe
I wish the very best of nature
Will bless you with graceful ease
