Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

With Gratitude

While some are sadly struggling, jobless or hungry in this world,
I am feeling fortunate
To simply be alive
Having friends and family; with these two I thrive!

God’s grace I see in poetry surrounding me - like the
Radiance of dawn’s first light
And in the stars that blanket skies of night!
Though times are strange, I find my consolation
In the many things that do not change:
The summer’s sun upon my skin; the song of birds; my garden flowers.
Ugliness that I may see around me comes not from God.
Days that I live I fill with gratitude - with glad and peaceful hours,
Enjoying my friends and family that mean so much to me.
