The filtering sunlight
Waking every cell of yours
And the gushing waters
Quenching your thirst

So do not throw away
This thing called life

An unexpected hailstorm
In an unlikely place
Enjoy it while it lasts
Before the sun scorches them away

So remember to experience
This beauty called life

The mad twittering of magpies
With their monochrome bosoms
Oh what a spectacle!
To behold for many births

So forget not
About this miracle called life

A passing smile to an old couple
A game of football with unruly kids
A helpful discount from a shopkeeper
And the complimentary dessert at a bar

So dare to care
For this wonderful life

The sparkling stars
In the dark of the night
While the dim moonlight
Dances in your eyes

So stay thankful
For this miracle called life

A home cooked meal
And a roof over your head
A warm quilt
And a love nest

Care not to waste away
This wonder called life
