Gratitude For Graditude


For tall skinny mocha's, and pennies on the ground.


For little boys who sleep, and cease to make a sound.





For the cat curled up at the foot of my bed,


And for the silly insanity that flows through my head.





For finger paints, sidewalk chalk, and home made clay,


There are blessings in store for us every day.





It never fails, they're all over the place,


Every where you turn, in every Sisters face.





The the flowers that bloom, and for berries so sweet,


For all the beautiful souls I am bound to meet.





For mid-day naps, and and Creme Bru Le Cheesecake,


For my health, my clarity, and and for old time's sake.





For the garden of dreams in which I have planted my heart.


For peace in knowing I'm doing my part.





For the past that made me who I am today,


And for my dogs who always want to play.





For the 3 year old that never stops talking,


(Just yesterday, I was wishing he were walking...).





For the 10 year old child who lives down the hall,


And every day asks to go to the mall....





For a strong hand to pull me in, when I get out of line,


And for the man who lets me go, when he knows that it's my time.





For choice, joy, freedom, and fortitude,


But mostof all, thank you God, for Gratitude.
