The warmth of sun on my face,

Turned toward the sky

A sunrise in the morning,

So beautiful it makes me cry

The laughter of a child

So free and true

Storms rolling in

Wind howling and blue

Crunch of snow

Underneath my feet

Smiling at a stranger

I happened to meet

Long, glorious walks in the hills

with a good friend at my side

Driving somewhere new

In a trusty old ride

So many moments

I can’t list them all

None of them exciting

Yet to me so strongly they call

A deep breath now and then

Helps me to remember why

I persist through adversity

And continue to try
