Liquid Poetry: Never a Wasted Minute
Dawn arouses me to sounds of peace
Trees rustling at my window
The air so crisp and clean
In no haste, a day of wonder begins
I am grateful to be alive
As the sun beams down my face
Lovely rays reveal my spirit
From a dream to reality
Of mountains and faraway seas
I am grateful to be alive
To feel whole and free
I believe it is in me
Do the work of one
The blue sky is my refuge
I am grateful to be alive
I take each step to root
Let my being flow on through
An energy so perfect
Good vibrations of joy
I am grateful to be alive
Seasons come and fade away
I caress their messages
For they echo the truth
To always live and love on
I am grateful to be alive
Each second of my beating heart
Pure emotions fill the room
To feel the luck of existence
A beauty like no other
I am grateful to be alive
The gift of life is precious
Appreciate the time I have
Run with devotion and care
For it is finite without pause
I am grateful to be alive
Be present on a cosmic day
Each breath I take has meaning
Love myself and one another
Remain restful come dusk
I am grateful to be alive
Momentous
Born in Saigon, Vietnam, I arrived in America at seven years old as a war refugee in 1975. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, happily married with two grown children, and I reside in Colorado. A horrific injury in 2014 forever altered the course of my life, leaving me an incomplete quadriplegic. Yet even through this unexpected journey, I have learned that living fully in the present can remain fruitful, joyous, and deeply meaningful. To be human is to show kindness to one another. Let go of fear, prejudice, and desire, and awaken to each moment with gratitude for the profound gift of life. Turn to the people beside you and all around you, and project your inner being outward—be good to yourself and to others. We are all woven from the same fabric; may we surround one another with unconditional love, support, and warmth of heart. Our time on Earth is precious and deserves to be embraced with immense gratitude. Visit our PT practice at manualtherapyassociates.com
