Be Grateful Not Hateful For What You Have

It doesn't take much to find You can leave troubles behind If you look at what you've got Don't complain of things you want Remember there are others who Have hard times making it through Each day because they do not Have the ability to start Fixing their lives, it is wrong They try to be really strong Not complaining knowing they Have to face each new day With pain and sorrow, there's no choice They don't yell or raise their voice Even when they see those who Don't suffer, having no clue They're as lucky as can be Living happy and care free No disease to make them stay Very ill from day to day A warm roof above their head Snuggled in a cozy bed Not outside in a cold night Suffering severe frost bite Food is there at every meal While others have to beg and steal Hugs and kisses they don't know Family isn't there to show Runaways they are not worthless Open your eyes for the goodness Life is handing you and be Grateful, not rude and greedy Think of those who go without You will see what life's about
