Living In Gratitude

So many are worse off Their lives a nightmare Their reality unbearable Injustice and extreme poverty The scenarios endless It’s too easy to feel blue Going to take it day by day Refusing to live in fear Making the most of what we have We could always be worse off Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~THE POWER OF TWO~ 2020 AP: 3rd place 2020 Posted on January 19, 2020

For sure. A missionary family I met once said they were considered poor here in America but in the mission field rich...messes with the mind.
