glad to be alive

i'm so glad to be alive

to feel the sunset 

to hear the moon

i'm so glad to be alive

to see water that's wet

to taste the heat of June

i'm so glad to be alive

it took me a long way to feel that way

all i saw was everything but beauty 

i'm so glad to be alive

the colors of the air i breathe make me sway

the smiles i've gifted are now my duty

i'm so glad to be alive

to feel the drums

to hear the clouds

i'm so glad to be alive

to see all the world's possible outcomes

to taste the..

the gratitude

thank you for letting me

be alive
