I can see
The sun rising,
sending a kaleidoscope of
colors across the
sky.
I can breathe,
intaking the
crisp, cool
morning air.
I can eat,
fresh food,
with an
extensive variety
to choose from.
I can write,
I can spill my thoughts onto a page
without fear.
I can read,
I can allow myself to be swept into
other worlds.
I can live,
free of oppression.
I can listen,
to whatever I choose to listen to,
music or otherwise.
I can speak,
I can speak my mind
and say what I
need
to say.
I can believe,
believe in my God
or no God.
I can walk,
run, jump, skip.
I can be,
myself and not
care
what others think.
I am rich,
rich in hope and in friends,
rich in thought and in word,
rich in love and in kindness,
rich in freedom and in compassion,
rich in emotion and in deed,
rich in time and in energy,
rich in fortune and in health.
I am rich.
