\n and my feet hit the floor,
\n I give thanks for today,
\n grateful to be alive
\n and even more curious
\n about things than I was
\n just yesterday
\n or the day before,
\n about how things are
\n and how things work
\n (or don\u2019t);
\n for they\u2019ve always
\n been an adventure
\n for me and my mind.<\/font><\/p>\n
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\n of many years gone by,
\n across the chasm
\n of years and of life,
\n I find myself still
\n as excited about
\n what lies ahead
\n as I ever was
\n when I was a kid,
\n more clearly able to see
\n what I could never
\n quite understand
\n or see before,
\n a world that stretches
\n before me as far
\n as my still inquisitive
\n imagination allows.<\/font><\/p>\n
\n<\/font><\/p>\n
\n no boundaries
\n will ever keep me
\n from looking ahead
\n even farther
\n than I can now see,
\n curious about everything
\n in front of me
\n to imagine,
\n to explore,
\n so much more
\n than there ever was
\n before as I travel
\n here and there
\n as my imagination allows,
\n sharing as I can
\n with my friends
\n along the way.<\/font><\/p>\n
