Life is a splendid thing， for sure

　　Or could be， quite a lot，

　　For being showered with loving friends

　　Is for sure， the nicest thing we've got.

　　God's been watering all our hearts

　　Of this we do not doubt，

　　For in planting only lovely things

　　We get the good things out.

　　If we've got some love to share

　　With a friend all tried and true，

　　We can sure feel sort of cozy¹

　　Tucked² under God's heaven so blue.

　　But sometimes these days it pours with rain

　　And we can hit some right raw mud，

　　But when we patch³ it up with loving

　　We get to chuckle⁴ at the fun.

　　Wasn't God so nice to make the cloudy skies

　　Come out with all the sunny hours

　　Then in rolling out the cutest kids

　　He planted all the flowers.

　　This place is not all bad yet

　　From all the praying on our knees，

　　Because then it has a kinder face

　　With all the nicest you and me's.

　　God gives us all a healthy bite to eat

　　And with more than enough to spend，

　　Is generous too， to share even

　　A little extra to lend.

　　These days we find there's way too much

　　Of shoving⁵ just to get，

　　So we need to leave a lot more space

　　For loving others yet.

　　I do thank our caring Heavenly Father

　　Our brightest morning star，

　　That He is keeping watch so things

　　Will be so blessed， just as they are.

　　I want to send you lots of happy thoughts

　　And prayers for God to bless you every day，

　　With the softest of April showers

　　To bring you the loveliest flowers in May.
