I Celebrate

By Jacqueline Schiff

I celebrate

The eyes that see

The world God made

For you and me.

I celebrate

The ears that hear

The sounds of life

That ring out clear.

I celebrate

The mouth that smiles

And speaks kind words

The heart compiles.

I celebrate

The arms that hold

And reach out to

The young and old.

I celebrate

The legs that run

Or walk with friends

In rain or sun.

I celebrate

The eyes that see

And all the rest

God gave to me.
