Climb the Learning Curve of Gratitude

When life gives you all you need And you fly to the highest altitude, Before you run out oxygen Climb the learning curve of gratitude. When life withholds all you need And you start to get an attitude, Before you drown in despair Climb the learning curve of gratitude. When you don't live up to your own standards Give yourself some latitude, And walk your way out of depression, and Climb the learning curve of gratitude. When you're losing your direction And noise replaces your solitude, Walk back to the peace and still, and Climb the learning curve of gratitude. When you feel you can't get lower Just remember His beatitudes, It's the humble that inherits all things, so Climb the learning curve of gratitude.
