Just to Get Up

To wake up in the morning
To get out of bed
To face the world
To do everyday things
That which we take for granted
That which we do automatically
Without any fear
Without any pain
Some have to summon up courage
Some have to dig deep inside
Be grateful for your ease
Be grateful for your day
We all have our burdens to bare
We all are equal in measure
Give a helping hand instead of scorn
Give a loving smile instead of disdain
Be kind
It’s how we each get through this life
