RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GRATITUDE
Finding Gratitude
If there is no hunger where you live
Be grateful to the earth that gives
If you’re not exposed to a wind that roams
Be grateful for your sturdy home
If you have friends and ones you love
Be grateful to the stars above
If you smile and laugh in ample measure
Be thankful for the simple pleasure
If you have a warm family circle
Be grateful for the ties that bind
If you’re blessed with common courtesy
Be grateful for a world that’s kind
No matter what and where we are
We can always be grateful
We should thank our lucky stars
We have not become hateful
For there is love in all things
And there are those who care
And the one above does not
Give us troubles we can’t bear
Hard times tell us what really matters
Lesser things will fall and scatter
(Happy Thanksgiving to all!)
