I Am So Very Grateful
Every day of my life
We have so much in our life to be grateful for
Even when we think nothing is going right,
The biggest blessing in life is simply waking
Allowing us another day and another night.
***
I am most grateful for the love of my boys
The gift of their company, their precious time,
They are my world, my whole world, the best
And I feel pride just knowing they are mine.
***
I am in awe of my body, my soul and spirit
They all take up the cause, for me they fight,
I know without these three gifts, I’d perish
With them I see, smell and taste to my delight.
***
I’m over the moon when immersed in nature
Oh, to feel the glorious sun kissing my skin,
To soak up the music of a bird song or two
The happiness and glee I feel from within.
***
I count my blessings for my love of words
To be able to express my hearts thoughts,
To have a small following of loyal readers
Those without, I’d be nothing but naught.
***
Lastly, I am filled with gratitude for my life
As I’ve gotten older I treasure my peace,
I’ll stand my ground, fight tooth and nail
It’s my peace that helps my stress release.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
