You are alive!
When you walk through a storm of hardship.
When you sail through a sea of tears, pain, and sorrow.
When you hold on tightly to your dreams and aspirations!

You are alive!
When your ears hear the cry of the suffering.
When your eyes shed tears for their pain.
When your hands reach out to heal their wounds!

You are alive!
When your thoughts are complete with love.
When you see and appreciate the beauty within every race.
When you breach the barrier of time and  your soul blooms like a flower!

You are alive!
When your deeds shine with  kindness.
When your soul greets the dawn with hope.
When you improve yourself with each step, breath, and heartbeat!
