"Alive"

Today I am alive,

There is beauty just in this,

My lungs fill with each breath,

And I may drink of bliss.

For the sun is shinning,

The air is cool and sweet,

And I may roam about this earth,

With working, bounding feet.

I may rest in quiet,

Or sing upon the air,

For God's earth is beautiful,

And each of us it's heir.
