Transcendental Sonnet #1353:
Alive
I am fortunate just to be alive
To have all my fingers and all my toes
Since I am here now I might as well thrive
As I follow fate and follow my nose
And enjoy this trip wherever it goes
One thing I have learned is I can survive
Just about anything which comes my way
Today is much better than yesterday
And tomorrow the joy I will derive
From simply waking up in the morning
Should serve to those who hurt me as warning
No one can stop this insatiable drive
Of destiny I feel within me now
No matter what: I will survive somehow
