Thankful, that we live at all

Easier, even in suffering
in the trials of our lives
stopping to thank our God
thankful, that we live at all
that he chose to create
to make us in the womb
that we came to rise
and breath this air
that we have known
what we have seen
experienced in this life
that we exist
and he is by our side
all the days of our lives
