Efforts
I make an effort
To wake up grateful daily
but sometimes I forget
Most days when I wake up
I thank the unseen for a solid nights rest
this warm bed, 4 walls, and a sheltered roof to cover my head
I always remember to think about when I was without and how blessed I should feel with all of these gifts, I often forget
I have so much and have come so far
I've passed many tests even though I struggle. I just try my best
humans survive with smiles, flawed and tired eyes, heavy hearts in the chest
But we manage to wake up every day
That should be enough to try our best
We're luckiest of life forms since
Choice is what we get
I don't always remember
But I try my best to focus on all the things
I take for granted as I am truly blessed.
