I woke up this morning 

I opened my eyes 

And I realized that I am alive 

I sat up in my bed 

I touched my feet

I touched my head 

I know there is a God who protected me while I slept 

I walked in my bathroom 

I brushed my teeth

I walked into my kitchen 

And I made something to eat 

It seems so small

It seems mundane 

But I’m alive

I give God praise 

I went to work 

I went through my day

I called my friends 

I called my family 

And at the end of night 

I lay in my bed 

and I thank God 

That I am still here
