While I'm Alive
While I’m alive I want to live.
While I’m alive I want to give
All of myself to every minute
And feel the joy of being in it.
To see the sun and feel its heat,
To feel the earth under my feet,
To see the darkened skies at night
And all the stars within my sight
Brings me feelings beyond compare.
While I’m alive I want to share.
While I’m alive I want to be aware
Of why I’m here for this moment in time
And give of myself on my earthly climb
To those I love and those I meet
That will be the catalysts to help me defeat
All the lonely times I feel
That try their best to try and steal
The feelings I’ve grown to love.
I ask for patience. I ask for peace.
I anticipate goodness and expect an increase
In bodily sensation and artistic creation
As I fill each minute with whom I am
And never forget my fellow man.
And while I’m alive I never forget
What makes me happy on each new day,
To live, to love and always pray
For acceptance in my life
