[Pretty Poems] Gratitude

#120

Gratitude journaling before bedtime is a humbling habit I've been practicing. Wrote a gratitude poem one fine day in January 2021. May we all take time to express gratefulness for all things small and big.

I am grateful for this day

Grateful for this life

It could've been in any other way

Past of future? My internal strife

But I've zero regrets

I look forward to what's in store

Away from complaints and frets

Excited to my very core

Life has its ups and downs

I learn to take it in my stride

Your choice - be all smiles or frowns

Ask your mind, a faithful guide

I wish for nice things

For myself and others

Let's indulge in givings

Like sisters and brothers

I am grateful for my work

My home and my husband too

Responsibilities, I've learned not to shirk

Can't waste time feeling blue

I'm grateful for all that we can afford

Buying things to satisfy a desire

Pray I never get bored

And keep alive every fire

I'm grateful for my health

I love taking care of me

I'm grateful for my amassed wealth

It's true - the best things in life are free!
