The Beauty of Gratitude

I forgot to express gratitude 
For the lovely green garden which I had 
As the seeds which I planted were of lack 
Though gradually the trees grew big and tall 
But did not bear any flower and  fruit 

The feeling of lack 
And the feeling of gratitude 
Can not go hand in hand 
So had I grumblings 
And began to complain 
The tress shed their leaves 
And I went restless and became pale 

But when in despair I gave up 
And buried all expectations 
Slowly, I saw, the garden returned into green
 I thanked a lot in gratitude 
In turn trees bore in plenty  flowers and fruits.
