PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today I’m grateful for empathy:

As I look at all the people in this world…

It’s easy for me to see….

what makes our world more beautiful…is…

our compassion, our kindness and our empathy

Today I’m grateful for the stars

because on the twinkling light of their beams…

all I have to do is close my eyes

to send up my wishes, hopes and dreams.

Today I’m grateful for the 2 principles for a happy life

and the peace and happiness they can bring…

1.    Use things, not people

2.    Love people, not things.

Today I’m grateful for bubbles…

and how much fun is waiting there…

when all we need is a little soap

a little water

and a tiny bit of air.

Today I’m grateful for the joy we receive when playing games

and by games may we always feel beguiled….

And may we be blessed no matter how old we grow..

to enjoy every game as we did when we were a child.

Today I’m grateful how I’ve changed throughout my life…

even though I don’t always know where or how or when…

As Alice in wonderland said:

I know who I was when I got up this morning

but I think I must have been changed several times since then..

Today I’m grateful for individual courage…

as the bravest among us have always known

It is easy to stand with a crowd..

but it takes courage to stand alone.

Today I’m grateful I have a heartbeat…

my reason is as simple as it seems….

as long as my heart is beating…

there is time to fulfill my dreams.

Today I’m grateful for moon…

who for years has been a friend of mine…

reminding me even when I’m not perfect…

I have the ability to shine.
