Everyday I see the gift of life only because I’m awakened by the light. The sun reminds me of a hope alive, that a new day has been set aside.
The flowers wave at me with their bright smile, the birds dance to the wind triumphantly. My eyes almost opened, excited for the foreseeable.
My spirit awakened by the jubilant sound of life. A new day, a new dawn, a new dusk. The light at the end of the tunnel keeps me afloat. I fret not because hope accompanies me aboard.
On this journey called life.
