Just take a moment

Gratitude Poem :)

Grateful that I can breathe 

deep into my belly 

Grateful that I can wash my clothes 

so they don't get smelly 

To have freedom 

to write and tell my story  

To have support, find my voice 

to own my own glory

To have money 

to get me some rice 

and ting 

to paint 

to dance 

to sing  and laugh 

to have food and water 

and friends for lunch

to know that love is worth more than cash 

to remember it's OK to crash

 

to remember when I first kissed you 

to know how to tie my shoe 

To ride my bike 

and feel the breeze 

To walk in woods 

and feel at ease 

To feel the pain 

that woke me up 

To cry the tears,

 that fill my cup

To know that I don't really know it all 

to know i'm smart ,

even though I didn't do well at school 

To be where I am today 

to know that everything will be OK

To know,to have hope 

and Thank you 

for gratitude has passed my doors today.

A great antidote to the fast paced, corporate world that we live in today....really enjoyed the upbeat message of your poem here. "To walk in woods and feel at ease".....and then the final stanza...and in my opinion most important to being happy in life...oh yeah,,....gratitude! Thanks for sharing....enjoyed this....

Speaks straight to my heart! We all need to stop and be thankful for the things we have instood of complaining about what we want! Excellent write!

We can indeed be grateful for lots of things but seldom stop and reflect. Your reflection has given me mine. I've read most of your work and this is my favourite so far. Thank you.
