PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

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.
