Life

What gets me going

Each and every day

Is the fact that someone

Somewhere

Didn’t get to see a sunrise

Or find joy in laughter

Or say “hello” or “goodbye”

Life is precious

It is fleeting

Days are numbered

So this celebration

Of breathing air into my lungs

With a blank canvas ready to create

Realities here, there and in between

Is a realization

That life

Is a precious gift

That I’m thankful for

Cheers to every day

Not to be swayed by circumstance

Ruled by emotion

The challenge to adversity is

Gratitude

Thankfulness

Love

Reflection

Life is a gift

Open your eyes

Life
