Today I am happy to simply be alive
To see this most glorious day
Marking the change of another season
Another shift on the wheel of the world
Of which I am fully
And consciously aware
Planting seeds of wisdom
In the form of words
Scattering them to the winds
To land where they may
And grow where they will
No bars can restrain my spirit this day
No chains to bind me to thy self
This day I am a child of the universe
This day I am bringing out my wings
To soar wherever the warm breeze guides
Gathering a bounty on my lone journey
Of the natural mysteries and beauty
Of our world
Yes…
Today I am thankful
To simply be alive
