Best Grateful Poems

Praying for the day I meet  heaven 
You being there sharing this moment
In paradise here I come with open arms 

Listening to the song of a magical lullaby
I will bathe in your teardrops love 
That special place drowns in a sea of roses

Kissing gently...

Give thanks if you're healthy
  And give thanks if you're not;
Make sure to appreciate
  Whatever it is that you've got.
Just be grateful, my dear, 
  Give thanks with good cheer.

Give thanks if you're single,
  Give thanks if you're married;
Doesn't matter at...

A field of wheat cloaked in dewy silence
the orchestra tunes up with avian arias
bullfrog basses and a choir of cawing crows,
xanthic sunflowers turning their heads to better see,
the daylight trajectory commencing with lazuline layering,
a breeze glissandoes on harps of oak leaves
tomorrow is now today,

In gratitude may we flourish…


I’m grateful for:

My coloring books and crayons
            The memories of a happy child
The voice of my sweet mother
           So comforting,...

From heaven's splendid throne above
You show the world abundant love.
For daily breath and length of days
Oh Lord, I bring you thanks and praise.

You fill my senses with delight
I thank you for the gift of sight.
For wonders which enthrall my gaze
Oh Lord, I bring you thanks...

I just logged in on the Poetry Soup Home Page
My photograph appeared as if I was on stage.
It was among the members of premium stance
so I blinked my eyes and took a second glance.

So surprised, I think my heart skipped a beat
I wonder who could've...

You are like the kiss of wind,
Lightly caressing – gentle, expressive,
Kissing away my fears, each tear…
With a gentling that breathes love into
Everything…

You are like the translucent smile,
Radiating tenderness, intimate and alive,
Whispering over my heart, 
With a sensitive I might never have known…
Without you.

You are like...

Sharp, rocky, dangerous promontories,
dark crashing violence maleficent
down below. Weathering belligerent
waves, sailors agonize increasingly, 
eyes straining, constantly calculating.

Light streaming, searchingly intelligent-
the lighthouse, beautiful revelation-
comes into exhausted perspective.

BE GRATEFUL FOR ONCE

The sky never complain of no rain; her skin keeps shining.  
Neither the soil complain of no water; her texture stands beautiful.
Other creatures are grateful to God except man; 
Man,  yes  the  desires of wanting everything; 
 kills...

Your unexpected gift surprises me 
My soul is deeply touched 
And If you could see my heart
You’ll know how full it is at this moment 
      OVERJOYED
I am forever grateful for you

The eminent breeze slips through the trees,
multitudes of scrawny fingers guided by stout limbs,
conducts the aria.

the trill of daybreak
whilst the morning star shines bright
the moon on the wane

Oh! Sweet Merle your irrepressible melody defies all that is logic,
one understands these balmy mornings of summer, yet...

Yesterday before I went up to bed
I noticed an email that I hadn't read
It was from Soup thanking me
For sending them the PM fee
It must be a mistake or so I thought
They sent me something that I haven’t bought
I thought about what I would say...

Grateful 

The bird in the cage sits,
and sometimes sings. 
On Sunday he gets let out. 
That is the best day. 
The cat is at church....

Hebrews 13:15 – By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.



He is the wisdom that gives me the chance
To learn and grow and become who I am
The child...

Life it can be complicated, 
cruel and unkind.
Why does it have to be like that?
The answers I can’t seem to find.

Some days I feel hard done to,
Downtrodden, my life’s unfair. 
Then I take a good look around,
And realise I shouldn’t despair.

My life’s not perfect but...
