Have you ever got a favorite poem when you were a kid? I have one that's been stuck to me all through the years, It's amazing I didn't forget my favorite verse, I didn't know the title nor the author but the verse I remember ever since. This poem introduced me very early on into the world of poetry, how I appreciate beautiful words now and life itself I believe is thanks to this poem.

A Little Song of Life
by
Lizette Woodworth Reese

Glad that I live am I;
That the sky is blue;
Glad for the country lanes,
And the fall of dew.

After the sun the rain;
After the rain the sun;
This is the way of life,
Till the work be done.

All that we need to do,
Be we low or high,
Is to see that we grow
Nearer the sky.
