Just To Be Alive

I feel grateful for every day I wake to see Since eventually there will come a tomorrow that will not dawn for me On how long anyone will live there is no guarantee You may die as a child or live to die at one hundred and three Your talents may bring you wealth, fame and success But your life is the greatest gift you do possess And though many people your praises may sing On the day you will die you will lose everything The longest lived human life in time not a very long span So you should live for as long as you possibly can For there may not be a paradise somewhere beyond the sky For good souls post bodily death with wings to for to fly A nice sunny day for to go for a drive It is such a good feeling just to be alive.
