Lucky

How lucky am I

to have eyes

so that I can see the stars.

How lucky am I

to have a mom

who still sends me sweet love notes.

How lucky am I

to have a dad

that rocked my infant body to sleep every night.

How lucky am I

to look up at the night sky

and think of all the loved ones that I will eventually miss.

How lucky am I

to cry over the big love

that I will one day be heartbroken for.

How lucky am I

to have tears running down my face

over the love that I have received throughout my life.

How lucky am I

to see the leaves change;

to see life change.

How lucky am I

to be heartbroken.
