PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today I’m grateful for the joy we receive when playing games

and by games may we always feel beguiled….

And may we be blessed no matter how old we grow..

to enjoy every game as we did when we were a child.

Today I’m grateful how I’ve changed throughout my life…

even though I don’t always know where or how or when…

As Alice in wonderland said:

I know who I was when I got up this morning

but I think I must have been changed several times since then..

Today I’m grateful for individual courage…

as the bravest among us have always known

It is easy to stand with a crowd..

but it takes courage to stand alone.

Today I’m grateful I have a heartbeat…

my reason is as simple as it seems….

as long as my heart is beating…

there is time to fulfill my dreams.

Today I’m grateful for moon…

who for years has been a friend of mine…

reminding me even when I’m not perfect…

I have the ability to shine.

Today I’m grateful for rabbits

I often wonder if they were created…

to remind us life is meant to be simple…

and it is us who make it complicated…

Today I’m grateful for the light I hold in my hand 

when the darkness of the world becomes increasingly hard to handle

Because as St. Francis of Assisi said:

All the darkness in the world

cannot extinguish the light of a single candle’

I am grateful for all the abilities I’ve been born with

too many to count…it seems

but today I’d like to single one out…

my ability to dream.

Today I’m grateful for our food…

as no meal would be complete..

If before we start we didn’t take moment

to thank the food we’re about to eat.
