Earth

My life isn’t perfect, 

Who’s is? 

Honestly now, 

Who can really say their life is perfect? 

Nobody at all, 

Not one living soul, 

Of that I am sure. 

We all have highs, 

We all have lows, 

We all have worries, 

We all have laughs, 

These are things that never last. 

I am thankful for the love I’ve found, 

The enduring love I feel in my heart, 

It is truly profound, 

The love I feel inside. 

The kisses I receive each morn, 

The little fingers that reach for more, 

The angel faces that smile at me, 

Those little voices that melt me, 

The wonderful partner who I love so dear, 

The family unit that no money can compete with, 

These are things that make me complete. 

I am thankful for everything, 

For all the days God had given me, 

Hopefully, many more ahead of me, 

I know in my soul, 

I was put here to do more. 

A smile, 

A laugh, 

A friendly chat, 

All add to my worth, 

Upon this beautiful earth.
