Being Grateful

Today, someone didn't feel the warmth of a blanket

Today, someone didn't feel the security of a hug

Today, someone went to bed hungry

Today, someone went to bed beaten

Today, someone didn't get to go to a bed

Today, someone didn't get to hear the gift of music

Today, someone didn't hear the words "I love you."

Today, someone didn't get to hear their mother's voice

Today, someone didn't get to see the gift of light

Today, someone didn't get to see their mother

Today, someone felt too ashamed to speak

Today, someone felt unworthy to live

Today, someone didn't wake up

Today, you awoke to the warmth of a blanket

Today, you felt the security of a hug

Today, you didn't go to bed hungry

Today, you didn't go to bed beaten

Today, you had a bed to go to

Today, you heard the gift of music

Today, someone told you they loved you

Today, you heard your mother speak

Today, you got to see the gift of light

Today, you got to see your mother

Today, you felt confident

Today, you loved life

Today, you awoke to do it all over again

Sometimes we are unaware of the gems we already possess

And how greatly they are needed from others

Stop for a minute

Take a deep breath

And be grateful for the gifts

We often overlook.
