Gratefulness Poems

If Not For Christ

If Not For Christ
by Lanier Thomas

If not for Christ I am aware I’d be dead.
When I was young I was quite out of my head.
The wrong things controlled me. I thought it was I.
Jesus still loved me. I have no idea why.

Like a light in the darkest of stormy nights,
Or when the waves crashed about

Fall

Mirror, mirror on the wall
It`s not my spring, it`s my fall
But despite my old age
I have turned a new page
I don`t care anymore
Whether I am too fat or small
My wrinkles are my victories
Despite hardships and enemies

Gratitude Is for the Wise

Gratitude is for the wise,
mindfully celebrating life.
Shifting focus from lack in the eyes,
Gratitude is for the wise;
learning from the lows and the highs.
No distinction of times of smiles or strife,
Gratitude is for the wise;
mindfully celebrating life.

Gratitude is for the wise,
shifting focus from lack in the eyes;
learning from the lows and the highs.
No distinction of times

Despite It All

Amid the darkness
And despair and doom,
View the blazing sun
And azure sky...
Or the silvery moon
And nightly black
When the living rest
After a day of light.

Grasp your hands
And flex your fingers,
Be grateful for
Limbs that move:
Legs to carry 
You through the day
And arms to fold
On your chest at night.

Feel blessed for breath
That wakes you
Every morning,
For the power to yawn
And

Little Corners of Life

Hot water feels like heaven rolling down my back
And even in the dead of winter sweet citrus reminds me of the sun 
Sweeter still my mama presents me with my favourite snack

My best friend’s phone is always on for me
I know that he always has my back
My icy breaths give thanks to every growing tree

My

Grateful For Each Breath

9/22/2023

      Just like the lake of melting wax, on a candle gives off light,
      Life is not about championing the selfish, golden  prize!
      Hopefully, I stay thankful with all my  earthy might.
      And,

Jealousy

Every person is unique
And so revealed by his thumbprint
An undeniable identity
And so fate may be different
And so wealth, power, fame 
May be different too
And so satisfaction and gratefulness
Is rare
And so jealousy 
Is obvious
But
To compare with the top
To compare with the bottom
You're still lucky 
To have something in hands
Your family and loved ones
Love and affection is

In a Feeling of Gratefulness -

As my heart witness 
my mouth confesses
 and in my spirit, soul and mind 
I am blessed 
with Jesus

Please Stop Asking Me Why

Just can't reason out
Why 
But with a little bit 
Gratefulness and satisfaction
Will do
We're renting a room here 
We're sharing the earth here 
We're searching treasures here
We're sharing the riches here
Though I'm not the richest
I'm not the poorest
Though I'm  not the wisest
I'm not the most stubborn
Though I'm not the luckiest man
I still can see kindness

Gratitude

Be grateful for all you have indeed
Hope for not what you want,but for what you need.

Take heed of greed,
Be kind and do good deeds.

Remember there are a lot of people in need,
Many hungry mouths to feed.

Be a person that leads,
Set a good example,help and succeed.

In the end you will have achieved,
Showing others what you believed.

Gratefulness Glow

Grateful to God for blessings' flow
My heart radiates praises glow
Exalting Him with worship zest
Joyfully vanquishing guilt-blow.

Thanking* the Lord with goodness' best
My soul abides in His love, blest
To trek on contentment terrain
Ascending toward service-crest.

Conquering grievous dearth-filled strain
My faith seeks for provisions rain
The Creator grants by grace might
To abound midst thanksgiving-reign.

Triumphant by Saviour's light
My spirit basks in

Woman of Smiles

Your hair in the breeze,
Your anger makes you an angel... 

Laughing and time lapsed is what you bring, 
My heartbeat was not continued,
Gratefulness are my tears,
When leaving... 

Your hair in the breeze,
Your anger makes you an angel... 

You liked me as you love me,
You are a woman of smiles.... 

Your hair in the breeze,
Laughing and

I give thanks to The LORD six days a week. I forget which days I forget!

The Miracle of Memories

My breath once scattered seeds of dandelions.
I stared in moments lost to grains of sand.
Walked among the nighttime stars in wonder;
Held golden leaves within my youthful hand.
Watched a shoestring dangle through the wide eyes of a kitten. 
So much older then was I, my life unwritten.
I touched an eagles’ feather, wondered why or whether,
