sunrises full of color and full of light
and sunsets as the sun rests its head at night
waterfalls so peaceful with their calming hands
and rainbows after every storm in the sky stands
animals and creatures on this earth
every miracle of each baby's birth
family members that always care
and fill you with love when you're bare
friends who bring you comfort and joy each day
always being there and never turning away
ice cream that slides down as you eat
and chocolate that is always a treat
leaves turning colors in the fall each year
and Christmas cards that fill you with cheer
first snowfalls with snowflakes so white
and laughter that fills you inside with delight
at church during worship singing songs
the feeling that stays with you all day long
all the love people around you are giving
these are all the reasons to keep living
