gratitude

less is more

I have breath in my body

A roof over my head

I'm alive and not dead

Someone didn't wake up today

They have words they would've wished to say 

Things they wanted to do

Would've, could've, should've 

Didn't 

Game over

Be thankful for the big and the small

Even if you can't walk 

Crawl 

Your heart beats 

Smile, at the very least

What you focus on grows

When it all ends 

Nobody knows 

It's not the happy people who are grateful 

But the grateful people who are happy

Say thank you

You're blessed 

You know it's true

I will not say much. But have it in mind that you passed an indelible message to your audience in which I am a beneficiary. One must learn to be contented and grateful for the gift of life at least...

Wow, just wow, I loved this poem. It really resonated with me in a way that well I guess I’m a little more grateful for what I have now than before and I really liked the flow too, great poem overall lad :)

I'm glad you got something out of it my friend. Thanks for the love and support!

This poem puts me in mind of an old proverb which suggests that if you can't think of anything for which to be grateful, then be thankful for what you have been spared. The lines which state "It's not the happy people who are grateful/ But the grateful people who are happy," are not only very true, but also great psychology. A diligent application of this principle by enough people would go a long way toward righting some of the ills of this world. Good work.
