Gratitude
Little things, important things,
The things I really savor,
Are the things that often go un-noticed,
That give our life it's flavor.
I'm grateful for the little things.
The things I call my own.
The things I take for granted,
Like kith and kin and home.
A family to fill my life,
And friends to share whatever,
And sunny days and restful nights,
And bonds that can't be severed,
By trials that come and go with life,
Instead the bonds grow tighter,
When those who love you gather 'round,
To make your burden lighter;
For money isn't everything,
Sometimes it just brings trouble.
Your treasure chest should hold much more,
Than pretty, shiney, baubles.
Simple blessings are the best,
Each one a special treasure,
A gift that's given straight to you,
To savor at your leasure.
I'm thankful for the little things,
That money cannot buy,
For peace, and hope, and certainty,
In where my future lies.
