To be alive

To be alive. To see the sky with clouds of white. To hear the birds speak in joyful delight. To feel the sun shine on my face. To feel my eyes squint in its warm embrace. To smell the sweet cool morning air. To smile and know that someone special is there. To be alive is much more than we know. So I thank God deeply for this great gift to behold.

A greeting card kind of poem. It seems too oversaid to be impressive.

Greetings Dovina! Thanks for your comment. When I wrote this poem I was very inspired by life and those things I was experiencing. So it might be oversaid or not even well said but I still like it. ') So what would sugggest? x

hmm... couplets, hallmark style. on first glance it seems a bit childish as a composition, but i like the easy rhyme within and the half rhyme at the end.
