My heart beats, each breath taken is a breath to be not taken for granted,
The blood runs through my veins as every moment is a moment i’ll see.
There’s a fragrance of herbs in the garden, life lives around me darling,
The wind is felt upon my face as i watch the sun move across the open sky.
Something lost and something gained as another day slips away,
Never knowing what to expect from another morning born, i’m alive!.
The air we take in isn’t for free, the price we pay to live in gods’ mystery,
Love holds no promises, love comes to stay and love drifts away, i’m alive!.
We are the fortunate ones, if the chance is for us to laugh or cry one more time,
Share a kiss, a hug, take that last walk with a love along the ocean shore, once more,
I’d just like to say i’m alive!, ” yes darling” everyday i’m alive!.

Used to quip “Beats the alternative”, but have never personally tried death. So how do I know? Anything has to be better than being stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life!
