That's what living is to me

[emydauthor623]

Rising early in the morning
To a day tha's fresh and clean,
Having birds outside my window
Sing for those they've never seen,

Sitting down with you for breakfast
With a child upon my knee
And some others looking fondly
Tha's what living is to me.

Going forth to face the battles
Of the day with courage strong,
Full of hope that I can conquer
Every foe that comes along.

Always smiling at the future,
Light of heart with spirit free,
Trusting God for all my portion
That's what living is to me.

Doing something for another,
But neglecting none of mine,
Playing fair and walking squarely
Down the old familiar line.

Tuning in the cries of others,
Setting souls imprisoned free,
Never bitter, never hating
That's what living is to me.

Faithful to my friends and naighbors,
Proud to live in this great land,
Never selfish, never greedy,
Helping all who need a hand.

Thanking God who watches o'er me,
Wishing every man were free,
Knowing love and true compassion
That's what living is to me.
