Written: September 19, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In a world where gratitude often fades, And thankfulness is lost in the haze, Let us appreciate the gleam and sheen, Of the amber sun in the sky's iridescent scene. For the unappreciative, the ingrate Who fail to grant and undervalue the straight, May they witness the stirring warmth it brings, And learn the meaning that gratitude sings. In the depths of ingratitude and despair, The grateful ones find solace in the air, They weld their mindful hearts with love and care, And their appreciation for the life they share. With each tender moment and each sort word, They recognize the blessings that rise unheard, Their gratitude plumbs the depths of the sea, As they return kindness with no answer or plea. In a world where thanklessness can lead, The grateful ones bear the lead indeed, Proving that gratitude is a remoter, That can brighten hearts and be a comforter. In their beds of thankfulness, they lie, With a sense of gratitude that reaches the sky, They realize the concession of appreciation, And the value of every heartfelt commendation.

What a moving poem. Absolutely beautiful and uplifting as it sings the praises of gratitude. In today's world, yes, gratitude seems to fade. Yet those whose hearts are filled with gratitude brighten, enlighten, and change the world. For me gratitude is soooo much easier than complaining and giving into the negative...negativity is a cycle of choice in my book....just saying.

Yes let us appreciate the gleam and sheen, whilst we can as this world is already a place where gratitude is so rarely whispered. I absolutely love the depth of this, the message you’ve conveyed as well as the philosophical touch of your words and thoughts expressed in such an eloquent and touching manner: i have a special place in my heart for grateful souls, so precious and this world deserves more of that breed: thank you for sharing this soulfully poetic write

A very wise poem, my friend. To be grateful and thankful in all we experience in life, is to acknowledge the power of a Loving God to bless and keep us; even in a world of chaos, He is with us. A good reminder to all of us to be grateful and thankful. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. Bill
