Everyday when one awakens, <br />To first pray in a thankfulness. <br />As some may do this. <br />While others forget. <br />Hopefully it dawns upon them, <br />With an acknowledgement... <br />The morning was not guaranteed, <br />As a gift for them to receive. <br />No, it was not. <br />Nor was the opportunity given again, <br />For themTo take for granted... <br />A life many choose to easily dismissed.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
