The Gift of Living

A birthday within itself

Reveals the miracle of birth,

And everyone has a life

Upon the only Earth,

So search for a purpose

For being alive

While never underestimating

The value of worth,

And move to improve

The world as a whole

While searching for the beauty

Found deep within the soul,

And strive for so much more

To let the heart truly soar

Because love is like opening a door

To a future like never before
