Grateful

I'm grateful for the sun that warms this valley
 I'm grateful for the water and the wind
 I'm grateful for the cool of summer evenings
 And I'm grateful when the morning comes again
 But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say
 I'm grateful for this day
 I'm grateful for the family that surrounds me
 And I'm grateful for this time we have to spend
 I'm grateful for my teachers and their wisdom
 And I'm grateful for the company of friends
 But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say
 I'm grateful for this day
 And I know there may be troubles yet to come
 But still I have to smile
 And I know our time is short
 But I'm glad to be part of the dance, for awhile
 I'm grateful for the gift of sharing music
 I'm grateful for the sweetness of the wine
 I'm grateful for the bounty at our table
 And I'm grateful for my baby's eyes that shine
 But sometimes I forget, so for now I'd like to say
 I'm grateful for this day
