Gratitude in life
What a treasure to behold it
Life without gratitude, a barren land,
Where joy and contentment fail to stand.
For gratitude, a beacon of light,
Illuminates the darkest of nights.
Without gratitude, the heart grows cold,
The beauty of life remains untold.
No appreciation for blessings received,
No recognition of what we've achieved.
In the absence of gratitude's embrace,
We lose sight of life's abundant grace.
The simple pleasures, the love we share,
All taken for granted, unaware.
Gratitude, a humble and gentle guide,
Opens our eyes, helps us to abide,
In the present moment, with hearts aglow,
Finding gratitude in both high and low.
For life without gratitude is a hollow shell,
A constant longing, an empty well.
But with gratitude, our spirits soar,
We find peace and fulfillment at our core.
So let us cultivate gratitude each day,
In every word we speak, in every way.
For life's true richness lies in our gratitude,
A precious gift, a joyful attitude.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.
