It’s beautiful to be alive,

To breathe in each breath.

Have another day to start fresh.

To exercise, eat, drink and work.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

To stare at the incredible miracles in nature.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

To have friends who are amazing and kind.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

To carry the very image of the creator in skin form.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

And live out the design placed on the inside.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

To forgive everyone and be forgiven.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

With the past too far behind to catch back up.

It’s beautiful to be alive,

With endless possibilities.

To see the sunset and new sunrise.

Today is new,

It’s beautiful to be alive.

What are you grateful for today?
