I am Grateful


In the vast expanse of time untold,

In the realm of dreams and stories old,

There lies a tale of gratitude,

Of humble hearts and attitudes.

This epic saga shall unfold,

Of joys and sorrows, new and old.


I am grateful for the sun that shines,

For the earth that gives, the sky that pines,

For the song of birds that fills the air,

For the fragrance of flowers fair.

I am grateful for the wind that blows,

For the rivers that meander and flows.


I am grateful for the gift of life,

For the chance to overcome strife,

For the laughter of a child's glee,

For the love that sets us free.

I am grateful for the bonds we share,

For the kindness in the world we dare.


I am grateful for the stars above,

For the moonlight that shines with love,

For the dreams that dance within my mind,

For the hopes that in my heart I find.

I am grateful for the peace that comes,

For the solace of the beating drums.


I am grateful for the lessons learned,

For the bridges that we've built and burned,

For the wisdom gained from every fall,

For the courage to rise above it all.

I am grateful for the strength I've found,

For the tears that cleansed my soul profound.


I am grateful for the friends I've made,

For the memories in my heart they've laid,

For the laughter shared, the tears we've shed,

For the journey we've walked, the paths we've led.

I am grateful for the love that binds,

For the warmth in their eyes that finds.


I am grateful for the trials faced

,For the struggles that I've embraced,

For the growth that comes from pain,

For the victories that I've gained.

I am grateful for the challenges met,

For the strength I didn't know I had yet.


I am grateful for the beauty in the world,

For the wonders that have unfurled,

For the mysteries that lie unseen,

For the magic that lies in between.

I am grateful for the poetry of life,

For the symphony of joy and strife.


I am grateful for the moments shared,

For the secrets whispered and bared,

For the bonds that tie us heart to heart,

For the love that never parts.

I am grateful for the music that plays,

For the dance of life in its myriad ways.


I am grateful for the food I eat,

For the shelter from the cold and heat,

For the clothes that keep me warm and dry,

For the comfort of a peaceful sky.

I am grateful for the simple things,

For the joy that in my heart it brings.


I am grateful for the breath I take,

For the dawn of each new day awake,

For the chance to make a difference in this world,

For the power to transform and unfurl.

I am grateful for the grace I've found,

For the love that wraps me all around.


I am grateful for the sun that sets,

For the dreams that in my heart are met,

For the hope that carries me through,

For the faith that in my heart I knew.

I am grateful for the love I've known,

For the light within that's brightly shown.


So in this epic tale of gratitude,

Of humble hearts and attitudes,

May we remember to give thanks,

For every blessing that has shone,

And in our hearts, may love abound,

For in gratitude, true joy is found.
