THANK GOD I'M ALIVE
by:
Ralph Spaulding Cushman
Thank God I'm alive!
That the skies are blue,
That a new day dawns
For me and for you.
The sunlight glistens
On field and on tree,
And the house wren sings
To his mate and to me,
The whole world glows
With a heavenly glee!
I know there are heart-aches,
A world full of strife,
But thank GOD, O thank God,
Thank God just for life.
