PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

May we be blessed to understand

from one big moment to the next 

most of our life is living the moments in between..

and perhaps the best way to a happy life

is to find the beauty in the routine.

Today I’m grateful for remembering not to judge a person

by the person I initially see…

realizing I never know the kind of person

that person will turn out to be.

Today I’m grateful for unconditional love….

Love comes in many forms…

from uncommon to traditional

but perhaps the purest form of love

is the love completely unconditional.

Today I’m grateful for the magical feeling holding hands can bring.

How that simple act can cause your face to smile

your skin to tingle 

and your heart to sing….

And what’s even more amazing…even better yet…

is how that feeling never goes away…

no matter how old you get.

Today I’m grateful I have a voice

and that I know how to use it too…

That I am well aware what a voice filled with 

kindness

compassion 

caring 

and love can do.

Today I’m grateful for the knowledge…the ability to understand 

that I don’t need money or anyone’s permission

to build a castle in the sand.

Today I’m grateful for imagination…and for the wisdom of Albert Einstein…

Whose knowledge and imagination were truly grand…

Who said knowledge is limited to only what we know and understand….

Who reminded us how  imagination can take us to unknown worlds and unknown lands

embracing entire universes and all there ever will be…

to know and understand.

Today I’m grateful for our house…

and how…while watching our children grow 

and through its yard and hallways roam…

somewhere along the way

this house became our home.

Today I’m grateful for shoulders…

I have been blessed to have stood on my ancestors shoulders…

Blessed the way our lives have intertwined….

And I hope someday my children and grandchildren will feel blessed

to have stood on top of mine.
