Gratitude
If I open my eyes and light I see, how wonderful!
If I close my eyes and light I still see, how wonderful!
If I touch water and it cools my skin, how wonderful!
If I touch fire and I feel the heat, how wonderful!
If I taste the sweetness of an orange and it brings a smile to my face, how wonderful!
If I taste the bitterness of a grapefruit and it makes me squirm, how wonderful!
If I smell the pleasant fragrance of a perfume, how wonderful!
If I smell the stench of rotting garbage, how wonderful!
If I hear a bird singing, how wonderful!
If I hear a loud siren, how wonderful!
If I live to see another day, how wonderful!
And If I pass, that would be wonderful too!
Thank you mom, for all the these wonders would not be possible if it weren't for you.
