My Daily Shower
grateful for these blessings — a poem
Grateful For my Shower
Everyday is not the same
and every night
can be different
every morning brings
new challenges
and every night
leaves different scars
yes, that’s the game,
that life plays with us,
a challenging game,
and, that’s also
the name
of life that we live.
In life,
nothing is sure
nothing remains,
but the certainty of
somethings,
the presence
of something in life,
make it worth living.
And there are
things in mine
that I value
more than
power, money or fame,
that I’m
so grateful for!
things that are too small
that some would think
are insignificant,
but that I claim
are the blessings,
Yes, I am grateful
for my shower,
it is refreshing,
it wakes me up
taking me in its bosom
it soothes my senses
it caresses my worries away
it smooths me
it keeps me clean
and healthy
and ready
to take on challenges
“you can do it”
it tells me
it gives me courage,
a great start to
no matter what type of day
is ahead,
and it ends the night,
no matter how bad it was!
In response to Sahil Patel’s prompt for the third week of April, Grateful.
Write a poem on the things you are grateful for in life. A poem that you can read every day to start a new day with possibilities and hope. Write a poem about something, that gives you a reason to wake up every morning”.
As long as I can have a shower, I believe, I can survive any day. I think about people who don’t have these facilities, war torn places, people displaced, not having usual amenities, their routine disrupted, and I am grateful every morning, that I can have a shower.
Thanks Sahil Patel and Lifeline, that I can submit my poems, and also expect them to be read, and appreciated.
