Grateful Am I

 When the sun rises 

and the skies blue, 

each day comes with

something new. 

Grateful am I

lessons learned as time goes by,

I see it from a different view, 

as maturity sets in.

No right or wrong 

the journey like an unwritten song,

experience comes with the day, 

to the heavens I gaze.

Want or need 

I realize it's a dream, 

what I want and what I need

are different obviously. 

To share my life with you, 

under the God given blue, 

make you laugh and smile 

or lay there in your arms.

But I am getting by, 

no more tears in these eyes.

Life is shorter everyday

and quickly passing away.

I take the time to celebrate

dance silly like in the rain, 

remember child like thoughts

and toss the negativity away.
