Every day is beautiful

They say that I’m a miracle
No one expected me to live,
In my foggy mind I made it back
But thought I had nothing left to give.

I’m happy I fooled everybody
But I’m still here today,
Doing pretty good for an old gal
I learned it really helps to pray.

The reason that I was spared
Has become obvious to me,
My children still need my helping hand
Rhymes are waiting to be written, you see.

Yes, I’m living on borrowed time
Making efforts to meet with friends,
Determine to enjoy the autumn of life
To love and be loved, before it all ends.

And when it’s over and time to leave
Just remember, don’t grieve for me,
I’ve had it all, a wonderful life
Struggles are worth it, don’t you agree?
