Appreciating Life's Beauty*
In the morning light, a dawn anew,
Life whispers softly, "I am here for you."
The dance of trees in a gentle breeze,
The chorus of birds, the hum of bees.

Each breath a gift, each heartbeat true,
In every moment, life shines through.
The laughter shared, the tears we weep,
The dreams we chase, the hopes we keep.

A tapestry of joy and pain,
In sun and storm, in loss and gain.
Through every trial, every strife,
We find the strength, the will for life.

In simplest things, a grand delight,
The stars that glitter in the night,
A child's smile, a lover's touch,
The way we need, the way we clutch.

So here's to life, in all its forms,
In calm and chaos, in quiet storms.
With gratitude, we lift our gaze,
To cherish all our numbered days*
