I’m So Glad

I’m so glad to be alive
I like to learn new things
I like to notice all that I can

I’m so glad that I can know
Be by myself and grow grow grow
I love my friends
I love my Mom and Dad

I’m so glad that I can move
And use my fingers with my brain
To make a sandwich or even write my name

I’m so glad that I can walk
Or sit or stand or take a run
My feet will take me everywhere I go

(Fum-wah Alafia Ashe Ashe – A Yaruban prayer for peace and good health)

Living in my body
I can live with everybody
I can speak and I can touch you here

Tell me what I need to hear
Let me get the meaning clear
I’m so glad when you are near

(Fum-wah Alafia Ashe Ashe – A Yaruban prayer for peace and good health)
