I’m reminded

Of being alive,

Of the hearty

Goodness of life,

When I feel your

Cheering smile

Warm the

Sometimes chill

In my heart.

 

And looking

Out to the expectant

Peep of dawn,

And the singing

Praise of birds

For the new day,

Life in all its

Complex expressions

Seems all the

More sweet and generous.
