I'm Alive Poem by D Loveday Morris

I'm Alive!

I'm alive, I can feel it in my soul
I'm alive, earth is my home
I can laugh and sing
Bringing joy is my thing
Soothe those who are suffering

I'm alive, such a blessed thing
I'm alive, God is my king
Peace, sweet peace He brings
And love is the only string

I am alive what an inexplicable feeling
I'm alive bells are ringing
Everything in earth and heaven is smiling
New and more blessing, God is king!

I'm alive what a joyous thing
I'm alive no more suffering
Take a breath; breathe in and sing
Feel your feet moving; are you dancing?

I'm alive, such a refreshing feeling
Fly, soar, feel the wind tickling
Clocks are ticking
Everything has beautiful new meaning,
I'm alive!
