I look at my life and think,
I may not have all I want in life
But I do have all I need,
A roof over my head,
Food on the table,
Friends to be with
And share our lives,
A partner who loves me
And who I love.
I do not need anything else
So I feel so lucky,
So lucky to live my life,
Live my life that way it is,
And for that I am so grateful.
