A Day in Gratitude
Keep things in perspective

My eyes opened I took a deep breath My feet hit the floor They walked My bladder worked My eyes saw beauty out the window My ears heard the birds sing Delicious hot coffee Choices of fresh food with clean water Under a roof With loved ones And a dog who also has food A hot shower and clothes to wear I got in my car and could drive it Down good roads To the doctor and the grocery store There was money to pay them
I have my troubles, but I don’t have yours
And I’m grateful for it all
Because
Life is Beautiful.
