Thankful for Another Day

Happy to be alive.

I awake early in the morning,

thankful to be alive another day.

I step outside onto my front porch,

feel the cool and refreshing breeze.

The sky is clear and blue today,

the world is now still and quiet.

Nature is calling out to me,

inviting me to go for a walk.

I stroll along a short stretch of road,

stopping at the nearest bend.

There I pause for a few moments,

to feed the birds and squirrels.

A very refreshing statement about the world around you. I glad you shared it with us. Hopefully, every morning will be likewise.

I like the concept of nature beckoning you to draw near so it can whisper destiny secrets in your ear.

Beautiful poem. Sometimes I wonder why we sold our place in the country to move into a town.

I could almost smell the fresh cut hay and watch for robins as they feed their young. Thank you for reminding me of such days
