A BEAUTIFUL THING

 I feel the softness of a kittens fur

And I listen to the affectionate purr

I see it playfully chase a string

And think, life is such a beautiful thing

I feel the heat from the rays of the sun

And walks in the moonlight are always fun

To have a sweetheart who listens to you sing

Oh life, I know, is such a beautiful thing

I watch the bird’s wings spread in the sky

As its feathered arms carry it oh so high

And how about the happiness that a newborn brings

Can life not, at times, be a beautiful thing?

What would I do should I ever lose my eyes?

Would it make me any less wise?

Would I not still have the gift of feeling

Which should prove that life is such a beautiful thing

Should having no arms make me sad?

Should having no legs make me mad?

If life is, as I say, such a beautiful thing

The thankful for what I’ve got should be my theme
