For rain that makes the flowers grow For pain that makes me love feeling good so For illness so I can appreciate good health For hardship that makes me learn about myself.
I am grateful
For family that taught me to deal with strife For drama for giving me an interesting life For lonliness that taught me I love me most For Grief For now I keep loved ones close
I am grateful
For life on bad days For hard times, and bad ways for having known I tried I am grateful for being alive
I am grateful
For loss that taught me to place value For lies So now I know to be true For Despair Since no hope's in vain For hunger that make's a feast of fare that's plain
I am grateful
For want that makes what I get so great For failures that taught me some things matter more than haste For Arguing that taught me not to give up the fight For Darkness so I remember to turn on the light
I am grateful
For bad news, for bad guys for black hearts, and white lies for having known I tried I am grateful that I am alive.
