Today I’m grateful for my parents…
For this simple genetical reason why…
If my parents didn’t have any children
there’s a good chance…neither would have I
Today I’m grateful for the art of Mother Nature…
her landscapes I prefer…
for no artist who ever was
or is
can paint any better than her
I’m grateful every day
for mistakes I’ve made along the way
not grateful that I made a mistake
but grateful that I continue to learn
from every one I make.
Today I would be grateful
If everyone understood each person’s value
each person’s worth
A good way for that to happen is if we treated everyone we meet
as if they were the last person on the Earth
Today I’m grateful for empathy…
because when I look out at the world
it’s easy for me to see
Family, friendship, love and peace
all begin with empathy,
Today I’m grateful I still have my child eyes…
because with them I’m aware
as I look out on the world
there is still beauty and magic everywhere.
Today I’m grateful for universal love…
It’s something I think a lot of…
And I pray for the day we realize
We are all just different expressions
of that one universal love.
Do you know what I’m grateful for…
as I begin another beautiful day….
I’m grateful for all the memories
I’ve made along the way.
Today I’m grateful for my understanding time:
For knowing time is as precious as can be…
makes me grateful for those who choose
to spend their time with me.
