Could you describe the sky

 to a person without sight,

 the gift of shades and shadows

 you receive each day and night?

 Could you depict the freedom

 of walking down the street

 to a person who has never

 had the use of their two feet?

 Could you express the comfort

 of sleeping in a bed

 to someone who does not have

 a place to lay their head?

 Could you explain the pleasure

 of a satisfying meal

 to a child who has never known

 the fullness that you feel?

Could you, in all honesty,

 with good and truthful measure,

 say that you are thankful

 and consider life a treasure?

 Could you?
