WHY ARE WE SO LUCKY

 

April 21st

 

“Why Are We So Lucky”

 

Today is a great day

To be alive

The sun is shining

And we feel good

 

But for many of us

In this world

It is going to be their last day

They don’t know it

But we will all die

Both Saints and sinners

 

But it is also a day

When many children are being born

All over the world

 

There is a 1 in 20 chance

That we will be born in America

 

Why are we so lucky

 

Most people are born to

Non Christian families

Muslim, Buddhist, etc.

 

Why are we so lucky

 

In India

You are lucky to live

To be a year old

Or if you are lucky

You might live

And just be sick

Your entire life

 

Why are we so lucky

 

I don’t know the answer

But I do know

Where much is given

Much is expected

 

I do know

God gave us a tremendous opportunity

God gave us a great gift--LIFE

What we do with our life

Is our gift back to God

 

WHY ARE WE SO LUCKY
