Everyday is very special
in my life it seems to be
rising in the morning
is a blessing just for me
Each day that I am given
with my health and even more
is more than I was promised
the day I lived before
My wonderful, loving family
surrounds me each day
God's great treasured gift
sent from heaven my way
A home filled with happiness
and joy abides within
sewn with the thread of love
on that I can depend
When I'm in the valley
my friends are always there
to lift me up and carry me
because they truly care
The beauty of a sunrise
sparkles on the morning dew
awakens my soul
and warms me through and through
A picture-perfect blessing
of a night time sky
with the stars shining brightly
is a blessing from on high
My little flower garden
means so much to me
I planted it there
God grew it for me
Even the little birds
singing in the trees
warms my heart
with their sweet melodies
The days of my youth
are no longer here
I'm more thankful for each blessing
now that older days are here
So every morning when I awake
and my feet hit the floor
I thank God so very kindly
for giving me one more
