grateful for this world

I am grateful for the world and the way it let's me live in it
It gives me space to expand
To reach, to grow
Never enclosing me in a little box,
but rather encouraging me to go out and play
Explore
Seek
Roam, free
Yes, this world gives it all to me
The mountains, the ocean, the sunshine, the sky
It gives me stars to wish on
And raindrops to dance through
It invites me to always stay curious
And to never stop dreaming
It fills me up with wonder
And puts on the most beautiful shows
This world is wide and expansive
And it reminds me of that every single day
There are endless roads to travel
New paths to explore
And oceans to swim in
There are mountains to climb
And moments to sit and savor
The world slows me down when I travel to fast
Sending me a heart rock to tuck in my pocket
Or a message through a feather, reminding me that angels do exist
The world is filled with wonder
And endless possibilities
It has opened up it's arms to me
Invited me in and asked me to explore
I am so grateful for the wide expansive world
For the diversity it brings me
The love it shows me
And the adventures it has opened up to me
Thank you for deep deep earth, the wide expansive sky
And everything between
It is here where I get to live
To simply be me
And be in awe of the world's stunning beauty
