Living In Grace With Passion

The absolute joy of knowing, like a child, you are forever in  
His hands.
That the pompous leaders, all, cannot your soul demand.

That media are just media and do make grievous errors.
So you learn to use Snopes before demeaning anyone,
like a self-righteous holy terror!

You swim in cerulean waves for each moment of life in gratitude.
Negativity and fear? No, you give them absolutely no latitude.

Sadness is a word accursed to you!
As you find compassionate things for humanity to do.

Ignored you may be~nobody cares for your positivity.
They dine day and night, like gluttons at the table of 
rank, negativity.

For them, the world is scary and ending!
But in grace, you know each day is just a beginning.

You walk about in silver sandals, with a gardenia in your hair.
Gratitude and courage, a most intoxicating, heavenly pair!

Ann, along life's tumultuous road, I was taught about the attitude of gratitude. I only understood it when I was 32" it's the magic life raft for ANYTHING God sends us. I do mean, anything. Smiling in silver sandals, Panagiota Irene wants two pair for her! ^~^ -))
