I am grateful for this day... and every day...

for every opportunity taken,
yet weep not for those forsaken
for my journey lives in this moment of time
and every moment is ever mine.

I'm grateful for the pain I feel,
it makes the love, ever real.
Grateful for the heart inside,
'tis there, eternal soul reside.

Grateful for the doves that coo...
grateful for the loves that woo.
Happy that my tears do flow,
for it's truth that speaks when I say "I know"

Grateful I can grow beyond
reflections in that yonder pond...
physically tight, binding me,
yet grateful knowing I am yet free.
