Rama Balasubramanian Poet Nonet

Gratitude

Woes
Are gifts
Of the lord
Given with love
They reduce our sins
Uplift in many ways
Show who truly cares for us
Makes us strong and independent
We should be grateful to God for them

If we learn all time from those around
Life overflows  with gratitude 
We are forever happy
Gratitude ends ego 
Gives positivism 
Brings salvation
Inner joy
Stillness
Bliss
