Gratitude Poem
Today
You had a huge carton of Goldfish snacks.
You laughed with your friends while you were
Hanging out at the mall.
You took a walk down the street and waved
To your neighbors.
You got a gift from your parents:
A new Panic! At the Disco t-shirt from Hot Topic!
You ate a yummy dinner and
Had a delicious cheesecake dessert.
Then,
You fell asleep happy.
All these little things that make you
Happy,
And cheerful,
And content.
But you don’t notice
All the little things
And live your life
Blind
And unconscious
Of all the little things
You take for granted.
Because there is always
Something bad that happens
That you dwell on
For a long time
And don’t think about the good things.
You have so many great things happening in your life,
So you should be dwelling on that.
Be Grateful
For what you have,
While it’s still there.
