Attitude of Gratitude
From the depth of my heart
springs forth a fountain of gratitude
reaching out to your majestic seat
in my most humbled attitude
I'm thankful for the moments I grew dim sight
and you stepped in to give your light
the moments I was imprisoned by fright
and you gave me wings to take my flight
soaring even to greater heights
I'm grateful for those freezing cold nights
you availed me shelter and warmth
also for the days my ways weren't right
yet, you never rid me off your breath
I'm thankful that I could still smile
despite situations that made my senses go whirl
you ensured i didn't become an imbecile
even when my heart was immensely Vile
you didn't petition me in your case file
I'm grateful for those awkward times
when I didn't get all I thought I deserved
you knew better that they were sour limes
rather, you served me chilled sweet Oranges from your reserve
If words were to be green grasses
I'd have offered you a thick forest
If I were to be a World-class artist
I'd have painted you my GRATEFUL HEART
If I was created as an Angel
I'd have sang you an incessant THANK YOU
Since I'm but a Writer and presenter
I've scribbled you these lines
presenting it before the earth's multitude
in expression of my utmost gratitude
to your existing splendid magnitude
