Gratitude

GRATITUDE

Having a mind of gratitude
With thankfulness from the heart.
It is something we should learn,
But to practice it is an art.

With thankfulness from the heart
You realize how blessed you are,
But to practice it is an art,
There are just so many by far.

You realise how blessed you are
No place for complaining can be.
There are just so many by far
To keep you from worry free.

No place for complaining can be
When keeping a bright attitude
To keep you from worry free,
Having a mind of gratitude.
