The Gratitude

I am grateful for everything that happens in my life
Still trying to be grateful in the situation of losing people that I love
Devastated,
Being insulted,
Humiliated,
Laughed at,
Maligned,
Utilized,
Harmed,
Confused,
Abandoned,
Ignored,
Even alienated
Still grateful when people looked down on me
Underestimated that I was the one who was not able to do anything and looked stupid
I'm grateful because with everything that happens in my life
I learned to accept it
Be wiser in viewing any circumstances
Thoughtful in making decisions
Be a better human being for people I loved
Severe mental life teaches me not to pity my life
Yet,
It teaches me how to be stronger from day by day
Cherish every moment that would happen from now and then
Life never hard
Since I learned how to always be grateful to Thy
The owner of destiny

- Instead of complaining that we do not have everything we want, we should rather be grateful - To thank right comes from thinking right - Ingratitude is associated with thoughtlessness - A great poem, dear Yanny - I'm very thankful for I know you :) - I wish you a beautiful new week - Give "my baby" one hugs from me // Anne-Lise :)
