I breathe in the beauty of a summer breeze,
watch the sun catch diamonds in rustling leaves;
feel strong in body and frame of mind,
relish the laughter lightening my life.
And if worries lean on me when I wake,
I know I can cope, that I’ll be okay;
with good mental health I have
trust in others and belief in myself.
I look forward to what
each day has in store
and feel blessed to have
all these things … and more.
