Happy to be Here

Poem about being grateful

By Chloe GilholyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I’m happy to be here where the branches hover

Every street is inviting and becomes a second home

I’m happy to be here where the birds sing by orchids

Every park is enchanting and becomes another sanctuary

I’m happy to be here where my friends play cards

Every stranger we befriend becomes a new family member

I’m happy to be here where my soul is present

Every triumph and mistake becomes another part of the journey

I’m happy to be here where a others cannot be

Every step I take is another part of my story

I’m happy to be here where you can listen

Every moment together is another memory
