Title: Gratitude Through My Eyes
Life is short so I’d like to say
That I’m grateful for the night and the day
I’m grateful for the roof above my head
And the sheets that keep me warm in bed
The leaves that crunch beneath my feet
The bees that make honey ever so sweet
The sun that helps everything grow
The moon which provides us a steady glow
I’m grateful for my books that fill me with purpose
I’m grateful that I’m able to be writing these verses
I’m grateful that my pen is mightier than a sword
And that my words are good enough to win an award
I’m grateful that I remember the things I see
And that I’m not forced to be someone I don’t want to be
In the darkness of night
And the light of day
I’m grateful for not being led astray
I’m grateful for the world that let us roam
And gave us a place to truly call home
