The Attitude of Gratitude

You can’t expect miracles in the eyes of men We must wait patiently with heartfelt acceptance You will not look back & slip into your comfort zone again We MUST gain eternal freedom & experience The attitude of gratitude right this instance! The compassionate, luminous chorus sang with cheerful sensation Imagining the nature outside of the polluted city The smell of crimson roses and burning incense triggers my elation Idolizing its ravishing aroma, sending me vibes of vitality It doesn’t take much to have an attitude of gratitude Are you alarmed? Have you lost faith, dude? I’m sorry if I did you wrong, but I need you to sing a positive song I’m positive that you will feel like you belong – Don’t get me wrong…someday, you will win this game of ping-pong! The pangs of passion pressures me to keep trying my best, despite the feeling of giving up Refining our serene spirits, empowering us inevitably The good-looking scenery’s sparkling essence refills my beautiful bliss – that’s what’s up! Sympathizing with your heart’s tune, uplifting me jubilantly The taste of tear doesn’t take over my taste buds because I hold you dear Drive out your atrocious fear, ganging up on us furiously! The ugly truth leaves me with my shameful scars and they tend to interfere With my future goals and dreams…enticing me with twisted passion, Discouraging me endlessly! How can this be? How can it reign over me? Walking on my own, wrapped up in my anxiety, shivering violently… The frolicking heard chased after you, but you escaped with pure confidence Bringing back the importance of the purpose of prosperity The precious, triumphant sight of mountains rising with sheer effulgence Prizing its fine appearance, serving as my dream of reality You can’t have faith without works or fences without a gate We must take action carefully with articulate and gallant insight You must have the strength to kill the old man; just start on a new slate We will be lights of the world, always hopeful and bright tonight It doesn’t take much time to seek help during your arduous adventure…you’ll be cured I pray daily for your fortunate flight…your future goals are fulfilled because you’ve endured Are you drifting away in the ocean of commotion? Do you need my helping hand, dear friend? I want you to be a brave and wise hero and soar with liberty close at hand– Do you have the strength to understand? Let’s land in the Victorious Land! I owe my praise to you for staying strong throughout the years of pain I honor you by lightening up your load that has once driven you insane The attitude of gratitude will be with you, Even if you break or bend I have faith that you will endure until the end… You can’t expect miracles in the eyes of men, Though their domineering irises are like stars in the midnight sky We must wait patiently with heartfelt acceptance I wish you luck as you obtain the attitude of gratitude, an attitude you can’t deny An attitude that gives you a natural high ~ ~ ~ ~ Special thanks to Jake Ponce for your recent poem entitled “Archaic Assault” for inspiring me to write some lines.
