We Are Alive Poem by Rebecca Wiles

We never really take the time to smell a single flower.
And as the thunderstorm goes by, do we really feel the power?
We go on living day by day, with a simple breath of air.
But what if we woke up to find, our next moment wasn't there?

We are alive, we are someone,
so pick yourself up, and dust yourself off,
and feel the morning sun.
We are alive!

Is gratitude what we feel as we take each coming breath?
Or do we look upon our lives as just another death?
Do we see the colored hues within the rainbow band?
Come, touch someone with inspiration; it's time to make our stand.

We are alive, we are someone,
so pick yourself up, and dust yourself off,
and feel the morning sun.
For we are alive!

Don't just smile with your lips, but feel it through your eyes.
Take time to gaze at the stars above, and feel the sun arise.
Don't forget to love someone, even if it's hard to do.
Tell someone you thought of them; hey they might say it too!

We are alive, we are someone,
so pick yourself up, dust yourself off,
and feel the morning sun.
We are alive!
