Magnify the small things
Poem about being grateful
Today, yet again
I woke up in the land of the living
Filled with gratitude and thanksgiving
Someone lay down last night
And from their bed they did not rise
I lift my hands to heaven and look towards the skies
I dressed and fed myself
Was able to put one foot in front of the other
Understanding this small victory was not granted to another
Soundness of mind and activity of limbs
Longevity of life is not guaranteed
I once took for granted these daily abilities
Now, each year that passes
Every morning that I rise
These small victories seem greater in my eyes
