For what I am

I am grateful for the rising sun,  
For every day that’s just begun.  
The golden light that warms my face,  
And time that moves at its steady pace.  

I am grateful for the gentle rain,  
For cleansing drops and easing pain.  
For flowers blooming in the spring,  
And all the joy that seasons bring.  

I am grateful for the love I’ve known,  
In hearts that have called my own.  
For family, friends, and voices near,  
For their laughter, strength, and care sincere.  

I am grateful for the lessons learned,  
From roads I've walked and corners turned.  
For every stumble, fall, and fight,  
That shaped my path and gave me sight.  

I am grateful for the quiet nights,  
The stars that pierce the endless heights.  
For dreams that whisper, hope that stays,  
Guiding me through shadowed days.  

What am I grateful for, you ask?  
It’s life itself—this fleeting task.  
A gift, a journey, a fleeting song,  
Each moment precious, each step strong.
