Grateful Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Any day
That the Sun,
For me
Rises!

I will leave days lived alone.
A new day has been born.
And forward I move on.
Those yesterdays are gone.

Any day...
I wish to say,
I am...
Grateful!

To leave days left alone.
A new day has been born.
And forward I move on.
Those yesterdays are gone.

My eyes search desperately with clarity to see,
Where I can plant seeds.
And do good deeds to please.
I will live a life that's happy.
I will live a life in peace.

All the days,
That the Sun rises...
I will be grateful!
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.

All the days,
That the Sun rises...
I will be grateful!
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.
To be able to pick happy,
On my face and back to carry.

All the days,
That the Sun rises
I will be grateful!
