I'm glad I made it to today
As a child I struggled
I would have to fight to find my way
But now as I set and reflect
I’m glad I made it to today
Into Adulthood I stumbled
Many wrong paths I took along the way
But with guardian angels guiding me
I’m glad I made it to today
Friends have come and gone
Some are here to stay
I cherish each and everyone of them
I’m glad I made it to today
My children were a gift from god
They too guided me on my way
4 beautiful grandchildren they have given me
I’m glad I made it to today
Through sickness I’ve come
Many blessing’s I ’ve been given along the way
Cancer was the scariest of those
I’m glad I made it to today
Through menopause
Many sleepless nights I’d lay
Crying for no reason it seems
I’m glad I made it to today
Time seems to go faster with age
Hair that naturally turns grey
Fine lines that are creeping in
I’m glad I made it to today
Moments I wish things would slow down
Not enough hours in my day
But now as I set and reflect
I’m glad I made it to today
