Gratitude

GRATITUDE

Mr. Webster says gratitude
Is thankful appreciation
I must agree with his assessment
In regards to my salvation

My life was filled with turmoil
Resentment and total frustration
Now I live a life of joy
There's peace without reservation

I learned to have great faith in God
To see me through each tribulation
I'm grateful Christ is now in charge
I thank Him for our relation

I see things in a different light
No longer with trepidation
Knowing that He is by my side
In every situation

I wrote this poem in grateful thanks
And now, for my summation
I'm glad to be a child of God
The God of all creation
