Thank Life
This life we each breathe…
So much to see
feel and experience
in everyday life
that can be called
nothing besides miraculous
very small, large and in between
A wise man once said
there are only two ways
to look at life—
as though nothing
is a miracle
or as though
everything is a miracle
I’ve tried both,
and have to say
I seem to notice more of life
when I look for miracles
They say
if you are living your life
as you should,
you’ll be swimming
in a sea of coincidence
From where do they all come?
Some say God puts them there
Some say we ourselves
put them there
simply by noticing….
So, I stand on brown earth
and green grass,
look up at stars each night
or the bright sun
and white clouds
of a winters day
and thank life….
that is my way
