Gratitude
Ask for a heart where love can fill:
Glimpse how joy starts and how you feel,
Rouse up kind art your fine goodwill;
Aim happy mood at all you meet,
Touch works kind food with cheer you greet,
Inspire true good in acts most sweet;
Truth has a way to sculpt true ease,
Use well each day words that bring peace,
Dance with wise play as fun frames bliss;
Expect the best through ups and downs.
Apt poise works zest to purge sad frowns,
Taste ample fest as wit now clowns;
Toil moves to show you how to live,
Intuit grand flow and dare to give,
Thought helps you know that time is brief;
Urge knows happy fond gratitude,
Dream most cheery your attitude,
Embrace truly love's magnitude.
Note how you feel when times get rough,
Opt then to deal with challenge tough,
Work then reveals pure love you craft.
