Gratitude

The sun borrows warmth from you The birds sing sweetly and say glory to you I’m just a pilgrim seeking your love as a blessing Your smile is my magic potion, and you are my divine calling Your thought inspires me to live, even in the depths of sorrow I gather the grains of happiness and love I try to borrow From your soothing touch and gentle words of encouragement You are the elixir that I have always looked for, you are my strength Even when joy was a distant dream and I was in a negative spiral I had vivid dreams of you and stories of those I can tell I loved you even though you weren’t in my thoughts then I know for the scared child in me, you were the mother hen You have let me be me, through my life’s transition You have made me feel proud of my deeds, my every action You have sowed in me the seeds of love, destined to flourish and bloom With you in my life, my love, there will always be joy, never gloom
