Notes About The Poem

Morning gratitude prayer for the rest of us.

An Agnostic's Prayer

I take a deep breath
Focus on my body
Acknowledge the miracle it is,
It always has been

I'm grateful for being alive
For existing in this moment
No matter the challenges
I feel weighing on me

The alternative is an end to surprises
No more new starts
with each morning
with each breath

Let me connect with the awe
of the astonishing small wonders around me
And rediscover why being human
is an incredible gift

Caren Krutsinger August 19, 2021 at 4:47 AM Cindy, this would have been enough to be a great poem " Let me connect with the awe of the astonishing small wonders around me And rediscover why being human is an incredible gift" The rest was sprinkles and a cherry on top!
