Oh, appreciate from where you have come
A remarkable journey of life
There were times you were sure you’d die
And times that you wished you would
Moments when you stood tall
Seconds ticked away
Without notice
You’re still here
Breathing
Deep
And
Ready
For even
More adventures
Grabbing for the ring
Every carousel ride
Staying up to wish on stars
Sharing what you have with others
Wearing your best clothes for no reason
Other than you are celebrating life
