My eyelids go up slowly, or with a start
I stretch lazily not acknowledging the new morning
I drag myself outside to hear the cockerels and birds
I smile when breakfast is ready before me
I squint when the sunlight falls on my face
The heat is unbearable and I can鈥檛 stand it
Just before I get home, clouds gather and the rains pour
I am wet and dirty while my plants are clean and bright
The lights go off and I am forced to sleep early
Before my eyelids go down I start to think
Without life, I could not have lifted my eyelids earlier
Without strength, I couldn鈥檛 have gotten out of bed
Without my ears, I couldn鈥檛 have heard the birds
Without the bright sun I wouldn鈥檛 see my way
Without the heat, we would probably die of cold
Without the rain, our plants would die and leave us hungry
So, for everyday my eyelids go up, I have to thank God for my life
For my active and healthy body
And also, for the gifts of God we fail to acknowledge
For the miracle called life, I say THANK YOU GOD!
