Everyday I wake up
And smell the sweetness of mom’s homemade oatmeal.
Everyday I dress up
While my sister does my hair.
Everyday I go outside
And play with my friends.
And everyday comes new problems,
And I always have my mother to talk things out with.
Everyday I have fashion flunks,
But my sister is always there to fix them.
Everyday I stumble in front of a cute boy
But that one special friend makes me look good.
And everyday I thank God,
I thank him for my life
And everyday I wonder
Wonder what it would be like
To loose a friend, my mother, a sister,
And I notice how much I would miss her.
So everyday when I go through my daily routine,
I take advantage of having
That one special friend,
My understanding mother,
And my sister I can always count on.
Because one day,
That one special friend, mother and sister
Might not be there for me
Like they are now.
Because everyday,
Different and scary things happen.
So I might end up being that,
One special friend,
Un understanding mother,
And a sister that can always be counted on.
And so now,
I’d like to just say thanks,
Because I know I have been given
the greatest life.
Thank you God,
For these three prized possessions.
That one special friend,
And understanding mother,
And a sister that I can count on no matter what.
