The Least I Could Do

In this life,

There's so much,

Shit and gold,

Warm and cold,

Sour and sweet,

Grass and street,

The least I could do,

Is be grateful,

And enjoy it,

If I can't find,

The faith to work miracles,

I could if I ponder,

Find some wide eyed wonder,

And a dawning sense of awe,

For all that's gone before,

The least I could do,

Is be grateful,

And enjoy it,

In this world,

There is so much,

Horror and treasure,

Sin and pleasure,

Loss and gain,

Benevolence and pain,

But the least I could do,

Is be grateful,

And enjoy it,

I can naval gaze,

I can spit,

In despair,

In the face of it,

I can cringe,

I can seeth,

I can winge,

At the path of greed,

But I will have missed the chance,

To take a stance,

And be grateful,

And enjoy it
