On awakening, and opening ones eyes
Be thankful to be able see the sky
To listen to that song bird sing
Just feel the wind as it rustles against your skin
Smell the scent of an opening flower
To luxuriate under a steaming hot shower
For granted is what we take all of these things
But one can never tell, what the future will bring
So enjoy all the pleasures, that you can in your life
Be loving, kind, and gentle, to your friends, lover, husband, or wife
For one can never know, when the almighty, will slam shut the door
Then everything you have, will be gone for ever more.
