Today
I woke up this morning
and for that I give thanks.
As I think about those who did not,
it makes me ever more grateful
for the gift of the day.
I woke up
and so I am blessed.
From the moment I opened my eyes
and knew I was handed the gift
of yet another day
I knew I was blessed.
Everything after is a blessing.
Even if nothing else went well today,
I am alive.
I woke up
one more time.
I was given yet another day to be of service.
Today is another gift to me
from the Ultimate.
Today is a gift;
an opportunity to give thanks,
to be of service,
to appreciate all I have been given,
and to give thanks
because as I have been reminded,
not everyone received that gift today
and I did.
Today is a gift
and I plan to approach it and
appreciate it for what it is.
