My gratitude is a tree full of endless blessings
It continues to grow
Never wavering under the load
And its thick roots anchor to the ground
When I lay on the grass and my eyes drift to the sky
There is nothing but gratefulness for the stars
spreading their light on those dark days
My feet are thankful to bury its toes in the sand
My hair enjoys the ocean breeze on a summer morning
My thoughts love to be swept away by the waves
leaving my mind in a bundle of thoughts
I thank the bees for their honey sweetens my tea
Without the warmth from the tea
my nights would be colder
Snowy days may bring chills
but there are blissful moments of beauty
for those days makes me stop and take a breather
Many thanks for each season
for taking me through colorful changes year round
There is no change without ups and downs
Each one bumper than the last
And some smooth enough to let me coast
with my eyes shut
Through all the loops and drops
it was strength that pushed me through
Much love to the memories
the good and bad ones
They are the fingerprints
Always leaving an imprint in the back of my mind
To replay when I need a smile
I’m thankful for music
for calming my nerves at their peak
The lyrics guided me down a smooth melody road
Ending at my Zen garden
To all the books I loved
and hated…
for allowing me to escape and get lost in the words
Lastly, I’m most grateful for my family and friends
For being the listening ears to my crazy ideas
The guinea pigs to my baking experiments
And the shoulders to cry and laugh on
Thank you
