DAILY GRATITUDE WALK IN NATURE
I am grateful every time I take a walk
along the shore, in a forest, up a mountain
when across their paths I’m lucky enough to roam…
For every time I do
I can hear nature whispering to me on the wind…
“It’s good to see you…welcome home!"

DAILY GRATITUDE NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER FOR THE GREIVING
Everyone grieves in their own way
that’s a fact not a belief…
Which means there is not date of completion
no timeline for our grief…
To all the thought and prayers
those who’ve suffered a loss might be receiving…
Today I’m grateful to add
this Native American Prayer of grieving:
I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still…I

DAILY GRATITUDE GLASSES AND A HOPEFUL HEART
Today the gratefulness I’m feeling
actually comes in two parts…
I’m grateful for the glasses I’ve worn since I was a child
and for being born with a hopeful heart…
Both of these work together in tandem…
helping me to see…
the multitude of miracles
stretched out in front of me

DAILY GRATITUDE THE BEATLES AND THE DOVE
I am finding my gratitude in the Beatles
and the pure white dove…

Today I’m grateful I’m still able live a life
like when I was a child dancing outside on a rainy day

unafraid of getting wet

and ever step along the way.

CONDEMNED TO THIS DAILY GRIND
One more day on this cursed planet,
One less day in this infernal nightmare.
I chase after fleeting vanities,
Like an addict searching for a joy locked inside me.
I will spend yet another entire day behind a desk,
Counting the hours and the days for a salary
That prevents me from fulfilling my fantasies.
I will keep my eyes fixed on

Daily Devotion-TSF
For Sir Charles Messina's Two Sever Four Poetry Contest
3 September 2025
At dawn
I wake
With hope,
Thinking
About
Maker
Of life
I pray
To God
For faith,
To keep
Me from
Trouble
And strife
He knows
My mind
My heart,
All things
I'll do
He can
Foresee
At night
I thank
The Lord
For love
And care
He gives
To me

DAILY GRATITUDE GLAD I'M STILL ALIVE
I’m grateful while living in a country so riddled with guns
where random people and school children are killed every day…
Where we send thoughts and prayers then try quickly to forget…
That I am still alive…and haven’t been gunned down…yet.

DAILY GRATITUDE WOMAN WITH CHILD
May we be blessed to give our children three things
as we help them to discover and develop their wings:
The confidence to always know their worth
The strength to chase their dreams…no matter how far
and the ability to understand…
how deeply loved they are.

DAILY GRATITUDE RAINBOWS
I am grateful for rainbows…
How across the sky they glide
I love the way they give me a chance
to see the sky’s smile from the other side.
Another thing I love about rainbows…
Is, as I’m standing on the ground,
They remind me I will never see one
If I’m constantly looking down.
